Back by popular demand, the Biotherapies Pavilion is a specially designed networking space within the Exhibit Hall to provide biotherapies companies with new and curated opportunities to connect with key audiences and gain access to all that the AABB Annual Meeting has to offer.

This year’s Biotherapies Pavilion will include expert-led open-mic conversations and an engaging discussion about AABB’s Certified Advanced Biotherapies Professional (CABP) Credentialing Program.

During the discussion, attendees will hear from three CABPs – Jenny Chain, PhD; Kevin Land, MD; and James Utley, PhD – about how they prepared for the exam and discover the latest resources available. Join the discussion to connect with fellow professionals and get your questions answered.
