Welcome Letter 

Dear Colleagues,

It is once again our honor and pleasure to invite you to participate in ILSI-Biomed 2009 conference to be held June 15-17, 2009 in Tel-Aviv.  

Please join Israel’s vibrant life science community at the 8th ILSI Biomed annual conference, where science, technology and industry leadership come together. Connect with old and new friends, explore business relationships and learn about the future of healthcare through a variety of panels on hot industry topics and trends, world-class speakers, and high-quality networking opportunities. Join top-notch industry executives, Israel’s most innovative medical device and BioPharma entrepreneurs, major pharmaceutical companies, life science research leaders, policy makers and internationally prominent industry investors.

ILSI Biomed 2009 follows the success of previous annual conferences: last year’s event drew 6,000 industry players, engineers and scientists, with 800 participants from 41 countries and in excess of 2500 one-on-one meetings.

ILSI Biomed 2009 will provide attendees with insights into the underlying drivers of future changes in BioPharma and Medical Device industries. As the market environment toughens, new business models are evolving. Large Pharma attempts to focus and emulate Biotech creativity while Biotech strives for more expansive operating mode. Come listen and learn from the experts: is the future in combination therapy of drugs and devices? Is focus on personal medicine a recipe for success? What is the right model for your company to thrive rather than survive? 

We will continue our tradition of keynote speeches and plenary sessions given by industry leaders and leading academicians, worldwide. Following last year’s success, 70 Israeli Medical Device and BioPharma companies will present at the conference, we will offer one-on-one partnering sessions and an extensive exhibition area.

We look forward to your support and participation. 

Best Regards from Israel,
