Join SIVB as we head back to the East Coast!
Join SIVB as we head back to the East Coast! This is the first time SIVB has held our Annual Meeting in New England since 1973 and you won’t want to miss this opportunity to visit one of the first 13 US Colonies! The 2013 In Vitro Biology Meeting will be held in Providence, Rhode Island at the Rhode Island Conference Center and The Westin Providence.
About Providence, Rhode Island
Providence, the Creative Capital, combines the accessibility and friendliness of a small town with the culture and sophistication of a big city. Only a 50-minute drive from Boston and three-hour drive from New York City, this thriving arts community includes vibrant and diverse neighborhoods, outstanding hotels, a renowned restaurant scene and so much more. Nearby Warwick offers bountiful shopping and 39 miles of coastline, while the scenic beauty and rich history of Rhode Island’s other regions are a quick drive away. Historic and hip, sophisticated and small-town, Providence packs the best of New England into one convenient and colorful package. Higher learning is nearby with many colleges and universities in or near Providence, such as: Providence College, Brown University, Rhode Island College, Bryant University, Roger Williams University and University of Rhode Island. The biotechnology community is also active with companies such as Purdue Pharma, Nerotech Pharmaceuticals, Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Amgen and MultiCell Technologies owning headquarters or major offices in Rhode Island.
While Providence is an eclectic city with great social and cultural opportunities, the most important reason for attending SIVB’s Annual Meeting is the science. Join us and network with scientific colleagues, share your scientific and personal accomplishments and view the most exciting, cutting edge research in the broad arena of in vitro sciences and biotechnology. You also have the opportunity to present your research during the contributed paper and poster sessions.
About the Meeting
If you have ever attended an SIVB Annual Meeting, you appreciate both the intimacy and high quality science that are the focus of these events. Sit and talk one-on-one with leading experts who have shaped the science you use today. Then attend scientific sessions where they will present their latest research in Plant Biotechnology and In Vitro Animal Cell Sciences during keynote and plenary symposia, symposia and workshops. This is a unique opportunity to make new friends, create new connections and take home new knowledge to inspire your scientific pursuits.
