The Council for Entrepreneurial Development is seeking companies to present at its 2017 Life Science Conference. The deadline to apply is fast approaching.

The 26th annual event is set for Feb. 28-March 1 in Raleigh.

“Selected Showcase, Lightning Round, and Innovation Room companies are provided an exclusive platform at the CED Life Science Conference to display their capabilities, report on progress, and highlight successes. The CED team helps these entrepreneurs make numerous, valuable connections with investors and partners leading up to the event and in person at the conference,” said Jay Bigelow, CED’s Director of Entrepreneurship.

“We understand that entrepreneurs are often ‘heads down,’ focused on building their companies, but this type of opportunity for exposure is vital to company growth. Company participation in the CED Life Science Conference provides exceptional value for the amount of time and money spent.”

Two presentation opportunities are available:

Exhibit in the Innovation Room for one-on-one networking

  • AgBio or AgTech,

  • Biotech and Pharmaceutical

  • Drug Delivery
