BioSurplus At BioProcess International 2011 – Photo Gallery

Eric and Christian Ahlmark of Kemwell

BioSurplus' Eric Valencia and Christian Ahlmark of Kemwell at BPI 2011

Hosted by IBC Life Sciences, the BioProcess International Conference & Exhibition brings together bioprocess professionals from around the world every year to share the latest advances in the field.

BioSurplus joined the over 1200 attendees at the 2011 event, which was held in Long Beach, California.  Our team spent a very productive three days in our booth on the exhibition floor, meeting with professionals representing the full spectrum of companies in the bioprocess sector. From pharma execs to equipment manufacturers to reagent vendors, the event provided an excellent forum to network with industry players.

One of the highlights of the show was the opportunity to meet our neighbors in the surrounding booths.  For example,  Kemwell Biopharma, a contract formulation and manufacturer from India was in the booth next door.  Christian Ahlmark, Kemwell’s U.S. director of corporate development, agreed with us that the event was a success for his company, and is looking forward to next year’s event in Providence, Rhode Island.

We would like to thank everyone that stopped by our booth as well as those of you that participated in our $500 giveaway.  Take a moment to check out the photo gallery below and share the BioProcess 2011 experience with us! Read the full post
