Big biotech gathering accepting proposals

What has developed into the world’s largest annual event for biotechnology industries, the BIO (Biotechnology Industry Organization) International Convention, will be accepting proposals from Aug. 17 until Sept. 8 for breakout sessions for the 2010 BIO International Convention (in Chicago May 3-6). Proposed educational sessions should fit into one of the conference’s 17 major tracks (one of which is “Food & Agriculture”). Last year’s BIO International Convention, in Atlanta, attracted more that 14,000 participants.
