I'd still like to see IZP do an IPO onto NASDAQ. The climate looks good. My only concern is IZP might be too early in its development.
If any of our reader are in New York in February you might want to attend this, IZP's next, conference. Its free to qualified investors. A couple of the investor sessions of interest to IZP investors: New Developments in Respiratory Disease Inflammation and A New Pathway to Stop Disease in its Tracks.
February 15-16, 2000 Bio CEO & Investor Conference, New York
The Program
The program is built around a series of 12-Investor Sessions and 6-CEO Roundtables. The program also includes a Plenary Session, Individual Company Presentations, networking receptions and industry luncheons.
The First Annual CEO & Investor Conference held in February 1999 was oversubscribed. Instead of attracting 350 participants, more than 750 people attended the conference. The second conference, which is expected to be bigger and better, will take place in a new location, the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, in New York City.
12-Investor Sessions
The Investor Sessions are focused on a therapeutic area or technology category. The panels are moderated by an industry analyst from one of the sponsoring investment banks and an industry expert and include up to six biotech CEOs. The CEOs represent companies with complementary and/or competitive approaches to the topic. The discussion and Q&A that follows allows the investors to get a horizontal view of the sector and its overall market opportunities. Investors who attended the first conference were unanimous in their support of this format.
