The Southeastern BIO Investor Forum provides an unparalleled opportunity for your company to reach key participants in the regional and national life sciences community. Since 1999, the SEBIO Investor Forum has built a loyal following attracting thought leaders and investors from throughout the world. Given the strong biotech community in Florida, the desirable location and the success of SEBIO 2008 in Palm Beach, we anticipate another sensational event in 2009. Since we anticipate that more than 400 biotech investors, executives, and scientists will attend the event this year, this is a perfect opportunity to showcase your company’s products and services at this, the most significant annual life sciences venture capital event in the Southeast. To date, the over 160 later stage and over 120 early stage companies that participated in previous SEBIO Investor Forums have, in the aggregate, raised over $2.5 billion in public and private funding since their SEBIO Investor Forum presentations – these numbers speak for themselves as to the quality of our presenting companies. The Southeast (including North Carolina) is ranked # 4 in the country for the number of US public biotech companies according to Ernst & Young’s most recent biotech report. With more than 500 bio-focused companies, South Carolina has made significant strides in the biotechnology industry since the SEBIO 2004 in Charleston. The Palmetto State is bringing new life science technologies including therapeutics, medical devices, diagnostics and bio-materials from the lab to marketplace. Enabling legislation, collaborative programs such as Health Sciences South Carolina, SC Launch!, and SC BIO along with state-wide support organizations such as the Palmetto Biotechnology Alliance, research centers and new wet lab space all contribute to the growth of South Carolina’s biotech industry. With a growing knowledge-based economy, three major research universities (Clemson, the Medical University of South Carolina and the University of South Carolina) and national award winning support organizations for entrepreneurs and their growing companies, South Carolina provides a comprehensive ecosystem for biotech to thrive. The Charleston Place hotel, famous for its traditional southern hospitality, is a perfect blend of 18th century style and 21st century comfort. The Charleston Place is nestled in the heart of Charleston, one of America's oldest cities. It is minutes away from an endless array of recreational opportunities including the waterfront, superior golf courses, shopping, horse-drawn carriage rides, mansions, galleries and museums. Also nearby is the historic monument - Fort Sumter, where the first shots of the Civil War were fired. Guests of the hotel enjoy the full service spa and comprehensive health club, equipped with a beautiful year round heated indoor/outdoor pool, sauna, Jacuzzi, steam room and children's splash pool. SEBIO delegates can enjoy fine cuisine in many of Charleston’s superb restaurants. The Charleston Place is an award winning destination.
