Biotech Christmas celebrations kick off next week
State-by-state Christmas celebrations start next week, with Western Australia the first to host AusBiotech’s free Christmas event as their final networking event of 2013. The AusBiotech branch committee in each state is pleased to invite AusBiotech members to the end-of-year celebration in thanks for their support throughout 2013.
The night will present the opportunity to network with fellow AusBiotech members in the local life sciences, biotechnology and medtech sectors - including executives, innovators, researchers and students - by getting together in an informal setting to share ideas, make contacts and celebrate the successes of 2013. The evening will also provide the opportunity to meet the members of the respective AusBiotech state committees.
The event will be held as follows:
- Western Australia: Wednesday 4 December 2013
- South Australia: Thursday 5 December 2013
- New South Wales: Thursday 5 December 2013
- Victoria: Wednesday 11 December 2013 (joint event with BioMelbourne Network)
Please visit the AusBiotech website to secure your place in any of the above-mentioned events or, for more information, contact Sharlene Gunatilake at sgunatilake@ausbiotech.org or 03 9828 1420.
