Biotechnology Industry Association
In 1993, when there were but a handful of biotechnology drugs on the market and the sequencing of the human genome was pegged for completion somewhere around 2005, two small Washington-based biotechnology trade organizations merged to create the Biotechnology Industry Organization, better known as BIO. BIO today performs many services for members, but none of them is more visible than the organization's annual convention and exhibition, the largest biotechnology event in the world. Located just minutes from the Capitol and the White House, BIO's mission from its inception has centered on advocacy. http://www.bio.org/
