We regret to inform you that our BioBoot Camp event at the Dorsey and Whitney Offices on Tuesday, May 24, 2022 has been postponed. We made the decision to postpone in order to provide the most value to the startups in our life sciences ecosystem at a later date this fall.  

Thank you for your understanding! Please plan to join us for a dynamic, informative day designed specifically for our life sciences startup community later in the year. Contact Natalie Allen at nallen@cobioscience.com.

BioBoot Camp addresses the business essentials and resources for life sciences startups.  Registration is complimentary and available to qualified startups in the life sciences industries.
