Conference insight

Conference insight – Shaping your start-up for an industrial exit or an IPO: Are these choices to be made at the very initial stage?

4 Dec 2018 4:00 – 6:00 pm

Decisions taken at the very initial stage have major consequences for the future development of start-ups with major pitfalls to be avoided. Is it crucial to picture the exit strategy as soon as the company is created? The session relies on its panellists’ stories to go over different approaches of IPO and exits for start-ups.

They will share their experiences:

Lucie Ellis, Senior Editor, Pharma Intelligence | Informa (UK) – Moderator
Peter Leonardi, CEO, OmniCyte (US)
George Hoffman, Co-founder and CEO, Network Immunology (US)

Have a break with the BioParty!

News / Valentine Delabie

The BioParty is the perfect opportunity to continue to network while having a break from the two-day convention BioFIT

The BioParty will be animated by Vladimir Spoutnik.

Who is Vladimir Spoutnik?

Vladimir Spoutnik is a DJ, a crooner, an actor and for sure, a man with a moustache!

Straight from Northern Asia, his destiny is being closely related to the first great heroes of the universe: Laïka, the intrepid little dog and the brave Yuri Gargarin. Therefore, he is a god of modern times: the most jovial disk-jockey!

His specialty?

To mix discs in a suitcase!

To stretch your ears in an atmosphere of dance hall, and maybe dance under the stars, if you’re fancy it, Vladimir Spoutnik will play a heavenly disc, right in his suitcase!

The BioParty will be held at the Palais de la Musique et des Congrès, on 28^th November from 6:30 pm.
It is free for all BioFIT’s attendees.

Follow the rythm and enjoy your networking evening!
