Written by BCI Staff | Mon, Mar 17, 2014

This year the annual BioResearch Product Faire™ Event at Thomas Jefferson University will be held on campus in close proximity to researchers, research labs, and department adminstrators. This marks a change over the past few years when the show was held off campus at a local hotel. This event is open to Philadelphia area life science professionals   interested in seeing the newest lab technologies available. This year the event will be held at the Bluemle Life Science Building where as many as 20 companies will be present to share their newest technologies with the Thomas Jefferson research community.   

Researchers are invited to:

  • Discover new products and new applications
  • See product capabilities with on-site demonstrations
  • Network with lab suppliers and other researchers
  • Take product samples back to the lab to evaluate them
  • Get inspired with new ideas and improved methods
  • Compare and evaluate new products

This event provides a great opportunity for researchers and laboratory suppliers in the Philadelphia area to gather together in a targeted location and engage in meaningful conversations. Coming up on May 15, 2014, researchers and laboratory suppliers can interact at the Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia and enjoy the many opportunities our shows provide. 2014 is a special time for our annual Thomas Jefferson show, as this year will be the first since 2005 that our event will be held directly on campus! Both suppliers and researchers will benefit from this prime location to easily meet and exchange information and answer questions about new product technologies.

Researchers will find this location to be much more convenient to attend, as it will be located in the Bluemle Life Science Building on campus. Researchers will find this convenience factor one of the many motivators for attending our show, alongside such benefits as a fully catered lunch and a targeted location to discover new products and technologies that can be applied to their research endeavors. We bring to our shows highly qualified and relevant vendors to introduce and highlight a wide variety of laboratory products and supplies. This gives researchers the unique opportunity to compare products from different exhibiting companies all in one location and additionally to interact one-on-one with the vendors to make the beneficial connection between lab product and supplier.
