The BIO International Conventionreturns to San Diego after three years, bringing more than 16,000 to the San Diego Convention Center in June.

The event from June 19 to 22is expected to attract many of the top business and scientific leaders in the life sciences industry. There will be 1,800 exhibitors, and former British Prime Minister David Cameron is scheduled to give a keynote address.

BIO last held its convention in San Diego in 2008 and 2014. The 2014 event drew 15,667, including nearly 2,500 company CEOs,from all 50 states and 70 countries.

BIO is pleased to return to San Diego, one of the worlds largest and most innovative centers for biotechnology development, said Jim Greenwood, BIO President and CEO. This event provides biotech leaders with opportunities to showcase their breakthrough innovations, partner with C-level executives and network with the global biotech industry.

San Francisco was the location of last years convention, and Greenwood said its not surprising for the state to host two in a row because it remains the world leader in life sciences.

Biocom welcomes BIO 2017 to San Diego, where the sun reflects on our citys astonishing breadth and depth of life science innovation and success, said Joe Panetta, President and CEO of the trade group BIOCOM.
