Legislative Day:  BIO Fly-In 2013

 

Once a year, BIO hosts the Legislative Day Fly-In, inviting biotechnology executives from across the country to come to Washington D.C. for a day and a half of legislative briefings and advocacy.

BIO’s 2013 Fly-In will occur March 12-13, 2013, and we are looking forward to another great day of engaging with Members of Congress and their senior staff on the most important legislative issues facing the biotechnology industry. BIO will schedule all congressional meetings and provide attendees with a robust legislative briefing prior to their visits on Capitol Hill. Attendees meet in small groups with the congressional Members and senior staff of the attendee’s congressional delegation. Each group will be accompanied by a BIO staff representative to all visits.

There is no registration fee for executives attending the Legislative Day Fly In.

Travel and lodging are the responsibility of AZBio Members who choose to attend.
