Luckily, Biotechnology Calendar, Inc. offers BioResearch Product Faire™ and Biotechnology Vendor Showcase™ Events at prestigious universities with biotech and lab supply vendors in mind.
Top Reasons to Send your Sales Reps to BioResearch Product Faire™ and Biotechnology Vendor Showcase™ Events in 2015:
-Meet More Researchers & Generate More Quality Leads
- These events put vendors in touch with thousands of life science professionals at dozens of research institutions across the country. Based on data derived from after-show exhibitor surveys, vendors generated an average of 10-50 quality leads at 2014 events.
- For instance, last year’s UCSD Biotechnology Vendor Showcase Events were attended by over 600 researchers, educators, and scientists. One exhibitor at this event commented that:
“The Biotechnology show at UCSD provided a wealth of opportunities for brand awareness and business development. The staff and environment both exceeded my expectations, and I felt very supported.

-University of Pennsylvania- $379,821,590 in NIH funding for FY 2014
-UC San Francisco- $1,030,983,000 in Life Science R & D Expenditures for FY 2013
...and over 40 other top-level research institutions.
- Attendees are active researchers, including professors, post-docs, lab managers, and purchasing agents – all with the desire and funding to acquire the latest biotech and lab supplies.
-Maximize your Return-on-Investment at Lucrative Biotech Events
- With exhibitor pricing starting under $1k, the potential ROI for your participation in events held at multi-billion dollar research universities is impressive.
