Bagels @ BIOCOM
Working in web design and brand development, we are often glued to a Mac computer screen, but it’s always fun to get out into the business world and talk shop with other local professionals. San Diego is booming with a variety of networking events, geared to basically any industry you can think of. Skybox Creative ventured into the biotechnology world Thursday morning during the Bagels @ BIOCOM networking event.
Skybox has worked in the biotech industry on several different projects that included both web development and brand identity (Catalyst Biosolutions as an example). Our style is very clean + corporate, which suits this client’s demographic, so we wanted to learn more about membership to BIOCOM and how to become acquainted with their community of local companies.
We learned about joining the BIOCOM Purchasing Group, which negotiates significant, volume-based savings and favorable terms on products and services frequently used in the life science industry.
We also had the pleasure of mingling with some of the BIOCOM staff, including CEO Joseph Panetta and Director of Communications Teri Somers.
We met some additional interesting people in attendance, including Michael Young, a life sciences marketing executive, Terry Quinn of Global Manufacturing, John E.H. Cox of SourceSolution and Daniel H. Schumann of Invetech.
