Testimonials
Here are some of the emails that we have received from attendees of the AusBiotech2007 conference.
"The AusBiotech 2007 conference was a great success and I got really positive feedback from everyone that I spoke to. You should be proud of your achievement."
"I think
that AusBiotech 2007 was better and more enjoyable than any international conference
that I have been to."
"The Partnering seems to have been very popular and the new mix of parallel/all
together sessions worked well judging by the attendances."
"To get 1400 happy “punters” including a big international
and industry presence means that Australia’s biotechnology industry is
now “punching well above its weight."
"To do that from the efforts of 9 or so people (in amongst everything else
that needs to be done) is a credit to you all."
"I sincerely believe, this event set a new benchmark for AusBiotech and
the annual conference. Well done."
".., it is wonderful to see the number of ‘satellite” activities
that went on around the meeting. It is a sign of great promise that bringing
a large number of folks to a conference allows others increase the opportunities
for delegates."
