The company I work for (Diffusion Pharmaceuticals) will be attending the AHA conference this November in Chicago, at which data for our Ph2a study will be presented. We will also have a 10x10 booth for the first time. I'd like to scope out other medical conferences to get a sense of the exhibit displays and set ups other small companies like ours are using. Does anyone know of upcoming medical conferences, preferably in the DC area?

TCT is in DC (the norm), but isn't until 21-25 September - so that is likely too late for your purpose. 107 weeks ago

Hi. I just joined the group. Am doing some research to determine if anyone has experience hiring contract construction managers/superintendents, and, if so, what their going rate might be.

At the same time there are some interesting things going on: have you noticed that there's an auto-generated page for stealing cars? 108 weeks ago

I'm curious about which Wire service most life science companies are using most these days for distributing their news: PR NewsWire, PR Web, Business Wire, other? BIO members receive a 10 percent discount on BusinessWire's rates, but it requires a contract with exclusivity of news distribution to only Business Wire. Considering the benefits. Any thoughts?
