Making a success of ‘Genome to Systems’

In addition to Northbank’s ongoing involvement in this years HGM conference, within the field of genomics the Consortium for Post Genome Science has secured Northbank’s services to ensure it’s 2nd Conference, Genome to Systems, makes the step from a successful regional, academic event into a major annual event attracting participants from around the world.

The Consortium is a cross-institutional initiative designed to accelerate developments in post-genome science and technology and this year’s conference will take place in Manchester, UK, on 1-3 September 2004 at the impressive Manchester International Convention Centre, close to Northbank’s northern office.

Following on from the successful inaugural conference in 2003, this year’s event will address many specialist areas of interest, focusing on post genomic technologies and their application to scientific, healthcare and ethical issues. Northbank has been commissioned to manage the event’s organisation and logistics, in particular the new commercial focus to the event through a Supplier Exhibition and Company Showcase sessions.

Peter Colley, Northbank Director, notes, “We are well placed to make a success of the Conference with a great track record of event planning and coordination, the sales acumen and design expertise to attract the required delegates, exhibitors and presenters, as well as a valuable network of contacts, clients and friends in the disciplines of post genome science.”

The exhibition provides the opportunity for up to 80 leading suppliers, focusing on post-genome technologies and their scientific and commercial applications, to meet the movers and shakers in the industry and leading academics

The commercial aspect of the Conference also includes Showcase sessions, providing an ideal forum for 24 pioneering companies and institutes to meet potential customers, partners and investors to promote their research, technology, IP, products and services.

Professor Andrew Cossins, Consortium Chairman, commented, “Northbank are helping us to bring together industry experts, leading researchers and representatives from the biotech and pharmaceutical industries, as well as the suppliers and service providers that support these industries, and in doing so we are creating an international community that will help accelerate developments in post-genome science.”

Additionally Northbank is sponsoring the media relations for the event, including publicising the event, dealing with media enquiries and running the press room.
