Worthington BiO History

Worthington BiO is an annual gathering of industry professionals, research scientists, and business leaders. This conference is a great opportunity to showcase the region’s health and bio-businesses sectors and provide networking opportunities. The Worthington Regional Economic Development Corporation is a private public partnership charged with organizing the annual conference.

Throughout its short history, the conference featured industry leaders such as Mark Ritchie, Doug Berven, Dale Wahlstrom and many others. From the start, Worthington Regional Bio Science Conference set out to create a meeting place where the scientific, business, and entrepreneurial communities can come together for few days, talk shop, plant seeds, and build enduring relationships.

This annual event has been very successful in highlighting the deep roots of bio-science as it relates to farming and animal health. What evolves out of one area of bio-tech often times has implications in other areas of importance to overall quality of life. Worthington’s bio-science based businesses have a story to tell, and are actively seeking partners for parts of the story that are yet to be told.

The 2015 conference will be held at the Worthington Event Center, which features state of the art audio video and meeting facilities. The event center is part of the  Comfort Suites Hotel designed to provide business and professional travelers with high standard accommodations.

In addition to traditional conference offerings, the conference program will be designed to include activities that engage students and attendees’ families by providing entertainment opportunities and ways to explore Worthington and the region.

The conference is also reaching out to educational institutions and research partners in the field to help showcase their work. The exhibit hall will be bustling with vendors, sponsors, and conference attendees alike. Local and regional media will also be present along with the ever-present social media to get the word out minute by minute on what’s happening at the 2015 WBC.
