BIO Shifts San Diego Convention Online

The Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO), the biotechnology community group which had planned its big, annual convention for June 8th through 11th in San Diego, has shifted its convention to a digital-only conference, saying that it made the decision based on the impact of COVID-19, the safety of the attendees and global health recommendations regarding large, in-person gatherings. BIO had expected more than 17,000 attendees to its conference in June in San Diego. The group joins pretty much every other operator of in-person events, which have for the large part been completely shut down worldwide in an attempt to slow down the impact of the COVID-19 disease.
