International Participation
Each year, Mid-Atlantic Bio has enjoyed growing participation by organizations outside the United States, giving the event not only added dimension and flavor but added opportunity for companies to make business connections across seas and borders.
The life sciences field is global in nature and scope—and innovation is born when ideas and technology are cross fertilized across geographies and markets. Mid-Atlantic Bio provides the fertile environment for education, productive discussion, and the formation of business partnerships to occur.
International Pavilion
This year, Mid-Atlantic Bio will again feature an International Pavilion in which delegations can exhibit, meet, exchange information, share best practices, and connect with companies in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region.
Sponsorships are available for embassies, and include benefits for country delegations. Gain visibility and showcase the bioscience organizations of your region by becoming a 2008 Mid-Atlantic Bio sponsor.
Around-the-World International Dinner
Diplomatic guests, senior bioscience leaders, investors, and other guests will gather for the Around-the-World Dinner – a separately ticketed event welcoming our international colleagues to the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region. The dinner program, sponsored by McDermott, Will & Emery LLP, is a significant occasion for international networking and, just days before U.S. elections, a timely opportunity to hear about public policy issues facing pharmaceutical companies in the national and international realm. Tickets can be purchased online on the registration page for $95 and will be provided to registered dinner attendees onsite at the conference.

International Programming
In 2008, the conference program broadens its international focus, featuring panel discussions, speakers, and workshops centered on specific topics and issues of interest to the international bioscience community, including primer sessions on how to connect with the U.S. market from a business and regulatory standpoint.
