GTCbio Conference Exhibitors and Sponsors

Why GTCbio?

GTCbio conferences focus on specific topics and bring together high-level industry participants, academics and government representatives. These conferences are highly targeted and offer more intimate and networking-oriented environment than large industry tradeshows. It is much easier to establish business relationships in a focused conference setting.

Focus on Networking

One of the key advantages of GTCbio is personal touch. Before each conference we provide our sponsors and exhibitors with lists of conference delegates and assist with scheduling meetings, breakfasts, lunches and dinners.

Maximizing Exhibitor ROI

GTCbio works closely with many successful biotechnology and biopharmaceutical companies that track and measure ROI of the conferences they participate in. The conferences are optimized for increasing key rating factors including number of leads generated by sponsors, exhibition hours, networking hours, on-site support, speaker quality and others. Business development team works closely with multi-conference exhibitors to identify business partners and invite prospective leads. GTCbio offers more value to sponsors and exhibitors than other conference organizers and includes many executive sponsorship features into basic Exhibitor Booth and Table Top sponsorships.
