VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS FROM BIO 2001 NOW AVAILABLE ON THE WEB
Full meeting registrants to BIO 2001 can view these sessions at no charge, simply by registering with their name, city and state as printed on their registration badge. Others will only pay US $49.50 for complete access to the streaming video content.
"This is a great way to be in two places at once," said Ray Briscuso, BIO executive director. "Many of the sessions were standing room only, and we want to make certain all attendees have access to the information and news in those popular sessions."
All visiting viewers will create a password during the quick and easy sign-up process, and will then have full access to all 50 hours of informative, news-making sessions in science, business and finance and other tracks during BIO 2001.
"This communications tool also allows scientists and biotech business leaders who could not attend BIO 2001 a chance to see the most popular sessions," Briscuso said.
