What's Exhibitor Partnering?

Exhibitor Partnering is a new feature of the 2012 BIO International Convention and Business Forum. While traditional partnering meetings are held in the Business Forum's private meeting booths, exhibitor partnering will allow qualified exhibitors to hold meetings in their personal exhibit booths.
