The Pharma-Bio-Med, BioSciences & CI Information Conference & Exposition is the annual event in
Europe that is tailored to the interests of information, library, knowledge management and
informatics practitioners working with competitor intelligence and bioscience data and information
in industries such as pharma and biotech, food, nutrition, agriculture/crop science, cosmetics,
diagnostics and devices, academic and government health sciences fields.
We welcome and invite your participation at this forum for professional development and continuing
education, networking, and the sharing and benchmarking of information best practices.

experienced users of information
working across all areas of bioscience
data and information. Key issues for
information departments, libraries and
medical information centres are
addressed, including how to find and use
alternative and innovative sources of
information, biomedical searching
techniques, knowledge management, competitive intelligence, and enabling technologies
(integration, text mining, visualisation, etc.), to name but a few. For more details of conference
content, see Call for Papers and Programme.
