What NCBIO does for you
Programs and events
To meet the needs of a diverse life science community in North Carolina, NCBIO has established several meetings and events with informational programs and networking opportunities for our members. Thanks to the support of our generous sponsors, these events are free for NCBIO members. NCBIO events include the following:
NCBIO Life Science Forums are held throughout the year to provide a platform for members to share insights and compare strategies for addressing common issues. These forums enable NCBIO's entrepreneurial company members to discuss relevant topics related to funding, tech transfer, development and commercialization and more. Forums focused on medical devices bring together NCBIO's medical device industry members and allows them to share information and address strategic issues of common interest. Additional programs are scheduled as topics of interest are generated by members. To learn more, visit our Member Events page, or contact our office to submit a topic.
The NCBIO Biotech Manufacturers Forum brings together late-stage clinical development companies, commercial phase biomanufacturing pharmaceutical companies and related firms such as vendors and service providers. The BMF provides an opportunity to share information, discuss common concerns and address major strategic issues of shared interest. In recent years, these issues have included workforce development and infrastructure. The BMF was a leading force in establishing North Carolina's internationally recognized NCBioImpact worker training consortium, which provides dedicated learning and hands-on training programs for North Carolinians seeking employment opportunities in the
biomanufacturing industry.
BMF membership is in addition to NCBIO membership.
The NCBIO Annual Meeting occurs in October, with the beginning of our membership year. More than 200 NCBIO members and invited guests come together to enjoy a program of speakers and panels addressing current topics of importance to the industry. We encourage you to network with staff, colleagues and on-site vendors
NCBIO's Legislative Reception each year provides an opportunity for NCBIO members, legislators and other elected officials to network with one another and to share information about life science industries in North Carolina.
