The premier annual life science event will be held Thursday, October 6, 2016 at the Calvin L. Rampton Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, and will feature presentations from top industry, government and educational leaders.
“Although the Utah Life Science Summits have been a great success in the past, we are excited to announce a new format for this year’s event,” said Kelly Slone, President and CEO of BioUtah. “We will be including the Life Science Talks and more in-depth working sessions, as well as an all-day regulatory component. This year’s event will provide valuable information for everyone who attends.”
The 2016 Utah Life Science Summit will incorporate local and national leaders like Gary Hebert, Governor of Utah, who will provide the opening session keynote, Mike Mussallem, Chairman and CEO of Edwards Lifesciences, who will provide the luncheon keynote, and Kevin Madden, Veteran Presidential Campaign Strategist and Christopher Campbell, Staff Director to the US Senate Committee, who will provide a 2016 Presidential and Congressional Election Preview. As such, the all-day regulatory theme will provide valuable discussions and insight to new regulations that affect the life science industry.
