Seattle’s leading life science researchers will be attending the 10^th Annual BioResearch Product Faire™ Event at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research on Wednesday, August 12 to network and investigate the latest biotech and lab supplies for their studies.

BCI events are the only life science tradeshows to offer exclusive access to hundreds of researchers on campus, on their own home turf. Unlike many of our competitiors' events, BCI events give lab vendors access to:

This event puts vendors in touch with hundreds of active scientists, researchers and medical professionals from Fred Hutchinson and the Seattle area interested in cutting-edge biotechnologies and lab supplies.

Last year, the BioResearch Product Faire™ Event at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research attracted hundreds of prominent and decision-making attendees, including purchasing agents, professors, post docs, and lab managers from 9 different research buildings and 16 departments.
