Hey Y'all:
The Kentucky Derby ended nearly two months ago but there's a new finish-line in sight - the AUTM CENTRAL REGIONAL MEETING! And the discount is even closer, just around the first bend - so be sure to Pre-register for the AUTM Central Region Meeting by July 7 to Save $50 and Reserve Your Seat!
I haven't composed for the online genre (if we don't count my minor facebook addiction) since the late 1990's when I wrote about HOT HOT HOT celebrities and the next movie or TV show you HAD HAD HAD to see, for EXTRA Online. So , of course, at the request (prodding, command, instruction, or "ask-Jimmy-Z, he'll-do-anything-ness") of Mike All
In the Gates! There's a shiny, rose-covered (ok, not really), brand-spanking new preliminary program online now: http://www.autm.net/AM/Template.cfm?Section=AUTM_2011_Central_Region_Meeting&Template=/CM/ContentDisplay.cfm&ContentID=5796)
AND THEY'RE OFF TO. Coffee and Conversation: An Industry Partnering Forum - NEW and designed to help industry connect with university technology transfer officers, this new program will arrange introductory meetings between companies in the agricultural biotechnology industry (animal health, veterinary medicine and plant science) and universities. The meetings will be arranged based on the best fit according to the company/university's interest profiles and are sure to start connections IN YOUR REGION that will go well beyond the meeting and have lasting impacts in your home office.
I know everyone is busy - so I'll close with this: hopefully, I've whetted your interest in attending AUTM Central -- and we just might wet your whistle with a mint julep or bourbon while you are in town if you attend. And if you can't join us, well.... "Bless Your Heart" ;)
Cheers,
James
