With goals as ambitious as caring for the sick, responding to the needs of the community, educating researchers and advancing discovery, the University of Alabama is a progressive university with the talent and resources it takes to make a major impact on the global science community. One of the best ways to get to know this prominent and well-funded market is by exhibiting at Biotechnology Calendar, Inc. life science marketing events at the University of Alabama, Birmingham.
When you exhibit at Biotechnology Calendar, Inc. life science marketing events, you meet a higher percentage of qualified leads within crowds of attending researchers. Last year, the BioResearch Product Faire™ Event at the University of Alabama attracted 326 attendees. Of these attendees, 145 were qualified leads such as purchasing agents, professors, post docs and lab managers. Working with a lead-to-attendee rate of 44%, sales representatives spend less time reaching out to attendees who aren’t qualified to make purchasing decisions in the lab and more time marketing their lab products and services to potential customers.
