BioFlorida's 13th Annual Conference will be held at the Harbor Beach Marriott in Ft. Lauderdale October 24  –  26, 2010. The hotel is totally renovated and only 5 miles from the Ft. Lauderdale airport, has a private beach and room rate of $189/night. Attendance is expected to reach 400 business and scientific leaders from all sectors of the industry. Dress for the Annual Conference is business casual.

The BioFlorida Annual Conference is the state's largest gathering of life science professionals and will showcase Florida’s life science technologies with three tracks: Biomedical Research, BioBusiness & Professional Development. This year, the Biomedical Research Track is held in partnership with the FL CURED organization as the organization's Annual Summit.

Florida's economic development strategy is long-term in nature, and has helped to attract some of the most prestigious research institutes in the world to the Sunshine State. As these companies ramp up their operations, they will need additional capital, skilled scientists, a qualified workforce and business assistance. This is the critical next step in transforming Florida into a knowledge-based economy. And this is why we hold an Annual Conference.
