BIO CEO, Part 1: Right Around the Corner
January 29, 2009 at 8:57 pm EST | Tags: BIO CEO, Conferences
BIO CEO is
right around the corner. Just like JP
Morgan, this year also promises to be an interesting gathering,
complete with a plethora of crappy companies presenting meaningless
data and irrelevant upcoming milestones to bewildered investors.
Most importantly, it gives company CEOs the chance to visit the great Waldorf-Astoria, a place where they can rest their little heads while the labrats and sales reps look for work. But hey, it’s capitalism.
Us? Over the coming 2 weeks we’ll be doing multiple updates on the conference and providing our take on each company (bull, dog, dog with fleas). We have a lot of flea collars ready to go out.
