Why is ADVR not on this list. Every other Bio seems to be. (found on EMND) Monday May 18, 11:05 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Three Companies Plus Noted Industry Expert Added to Informed Investors Beltway Biotech Stocks Forum June 6 BETHESDA, Md.--(BW HealthWire)--May 15, 1998--Integra Life Sciences (NASDAQ:IART - news), Gene Logic (NASDAQ:GLGC - news) and SunPharm (NASDAQ:SUNP - news) are the latest companies signed on to present at the First Annual Informed Investors Beltway Biotechnology Stocks Forum Saturday June 6 at the Hyatt Regency Bethesda. The Forum runs from 9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., preceded by a breakfast buffet at 8 a.m. Those three companies join Boston Life Sciences (NASDAQ:BLSI - news) and OSI Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:OSIP - news) as presenting companies. Guilford Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:GLDF - news) had committed earlier to present, but withdrew due to the unavailability of company executives on that day. Also, it was announced that the opening keynote speaker will be Dr. Alex Arrow, Vice President-Research for Wedbush Morgan Securities, a major Los Angeles-based securities firm. Arrow is a leading analyst of biotech and pharmaceutical companies. The closing keynote speaker is Kris Jenner, M.D.-Ph.D., a biotech/pharma analyst for T. Rowe Price, the big Baltimore-based mutual fund family. ''Given the continuing volatility and interest in the biotech area spurred on by the recent dramatic trading in Entremed (NASDAQ:ENMD - news) shares, we are pleased to have two acknowledged industry experts keynoting our Forum,'' said Tim Quast, Chief Operating Officer of Informed Investors, Inc., organizer of the event. ''In addition, we are adding solid, representative biotech companies as presenters. Having both companies and industry experts on hand will help attendees develop perspective in the industry.''
