Partnering

Following the phenomenal growth in formal partnering over the past three years, ERBI's BioPartnering Exchange Partnering facility has become an established element of the event. In 2007, over 800 one to one meetings are anticipated, once again assisting biotech, pharma and vc delegates to meet potential partners.

ERBI are pleased to provide delegates with EBD Group’s acclaimed online partnering software. You are encouraged to participate in pre-arranging one to one meetings using the online facility. Only meeting requests which are accepted will be scheduled, ensuring you only have meetings that both sides want.

Partnering is free to companies registered as delegates for the BioPartnering Exchange. All one to one meetings will be held at the conference venue, at Hinxton.

ERBI will guide you through the process with a series of email updates and reminders:

• Profile: Start now by profiling your company and products.
• Search and Request: When the full system is launched the week of 14 May, you can search through everyone else’s profiles and request your meetings.
• Availability: Denote when you are available for partnering meetings.
• Responses: You will not be sent emails for every change in your account. Log in regularly to check for incoming messages and requests.
• Scheduling: The week of 18 June, ERBI will begin scheduling all agreed meetings, based on the availability of all participants, using powerful algorithms to ensure everyone has the maximum possible number of meetings over the course of the day. Your preliminary schedule will be posted in your personal account.
• Your Personal Agenda: You will be given a printed schedule when you arrive at the event.
