  Due to an overwhelming response, registration for the business plan competition is regretfully now closed. Within 15 hours of our public announcement to the club mailing list, all our 100 slots were filled up! Great response everyone! And I apologize to all who were unable to secure a seat. If we had our way, we’d invite everyone to join us.

  For those of you lucky registrants, right now I’m in the process of sending you instructions on how you can maximise your time spent at the event next week.

  If you’ve just signed up to the Club’s b-plan group, welcome! Feel free to use the forum to voice ideas, post questions or generate discussion. We’d like you to use this as a way to recruit potential members for your b-plan submission team too. We have an amazing range of diversity and talent amongst our Biotech Club members. This is a chance to reach out and take advantage of that. Remember, you’ve got until June 1 and it’s a $10,000 cash prize at stake! :-)
