REASONS TO EXHIBIT
Who Should Exhibit?
The Annual Meeting is the leading forum for investigators
specializing in the fastest growing scientific discipline,
BIOPHYSICS.
The Biophysical Society offers exhibit space for the purpose of providing
members, and others in the scientific community, access to the products and
services they require to continue their important research. Attendees are eager
to learn how your products and services contribute to their work.
If your customers are working in these research areas, you can’t afford
to miss this opportunity!
“
Of all the meetings we attend, the
annual Biophysical Society meeting
provides Warner Instruments with
the greatest density of high quality
customer contacts, who consequently
provide us with the highest caliber
feedback and insight into the use of
our products.
