Application deadline looming for those wanting to pitch at “AdvanSE Life Sciences Conference”

The application deadline to apply for one of the 30 spots available for the upcoming “PitchRounds 2022” at the “AdvanSE Life Sciences Conference” is this Friday.

Scheduled for May 25-27 in Alpharetta, GA and organized by Southeast Life Sciences, AdvanSE is billed as the “Southeast’s premier, must-attend event for the biopharma, medtech, diagnostic, digital health, and agriculture biotechnology industries wishing to do business in the Southeast region.” In its latest promotional material, the organizers include a testimonial from Kayla Rodriguez Graff, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Memphis-based SweetBIO, who wrote: “Three weeks before the 2015 conference, SweetBio wasn’t even incorporated. Six months later, Innova and MB Venture Partners co-led a significant seed round to support FDA 510(k) clearance of our honey-incorporated advanced wound care product.”

The event has 20 spots available for young companies and 10 available for more mature innovators with at least one institutional investor on board. Here’s a link to the application.
