Hello! Brandon Emkes here giving the IHIF a quick report on the recent BIO meeting in San Diego. BIO 2008 kicked off with a slurry of activity yesterday as the career fair kept employers busy until 9:00 PM. Today, the trade show opened for the first time at 3:00 PM and the large crowd waiting at the door quickly spread throughout the San Diego Convention Center to see the latest innovations in Biotechnology. Opening day on the trades how floor was less about doing business and more about picking up freebies and partaking in the occasional cocktail. Foreign country pavilions such as the Czech Republic, Australia, and Ireland were handing out drinks representative of their culture. The first day of BIO is always a fun one as most of the work is done during the longest days of the meeting.
The above blog entry was compose by my friend and colleague Brandon Emkes with Kelley Scientific Services . I am posting his blog along side the my entry as an example of new media access and engagement by participants of events like BIO. Brandon's entry gives a personal feel and insight to one person's experience, thoughts and education at an event. This entry will be followed by several more I hope they will serve as a format for our IHIF New Media Initiative discussion. Just think of the potential for RSS feeds and blog entries of this type to add to the involvement and experience at this months Innovention 2008 Conference.
