The BIO 2004 Annual International Convention that begins today in San Francisco is the world's largest biotechnology gathering. BIO 2004 runs June 6-9 at the Moscone Center and offers 23 tracks of programming, including sessions on policy, finance, business development, science and regulatory affairs. The convention also features forums on bioethics, business development and global opportunities with over 440,000 square feet of exhibit space. I'll be covering the conference with a heavy focus on neurotechnology over the next few days.
