Meet Researchers at Our On-Campus Thomas Jefferson Event

Posted by Jennifer Nieuwkerk on Mon, Oct 14, 2013

Biotechnology Calendar, Inc. is excited to announce that this year’s Thomas Jefferson BioResearch Product Faire™ Event will be hosted on campus for the first time since 2005. Our on-campus sponsor will be the Thomas Jefferson University College of Graduate Studies, and our event will be held in the Bluemle Life Science Building. On-campus events typically draw much larger crowds due to the convenience factor for researchers. It will be much easier to meet researchers and market lab products at this year’s sponsored event. Hosting the event on campus will make a big difference because researchers would rather not leave campus to attend an event. There is also a quality of being at home that researchers experience at on-campus tradeshows. Researchers feel more comfortable staying close to where they work and talking to exhibitors knowing that the event has been organized through their university with a contact at the university.
