As a marketer, generating sales leads is your lifeblood. It sustains your sales team, and your company. Trade shows have always been a great way to generate leads, but we know all too well how COVID-19 robbed many marketers of this vital tool. Now that trade shows are returning, we warmly invite you to join us face-to-face at our in-person VendorFest Cambridge! This event is designed to showcase a small but highly select vendor community focused on supporting the vast and variable needs of biopharma companies undertaking drug discovery and development.
On October 27, come and take part in a real-world in-person event that will bring together a small but highly select vendor community of 50 life science suppliers with over 500 drug discovery and development researchers and decision-makers from the Boston area. This is a wonderful opportunity for your sales team to be face-to-face with key decision-makers in the companies you do business with–or desire to be in business with. Attendees will come ready to learn about new products and services and eager to network with fellow professionals.
