Life Science in Bend is Central to Oregon. The region known for its hiking, biking, skiing, and brewing also punches way above its weight when it comes to its bioscience chops. Yet, in Central Oregon and statewide, there are new challenges and opportunities that require our attention and, ultimately, legislative action.
Join us for an informative evening featuring two panelists with legislative expertise, Scott Bruun and Rocky Dallum. They will provide an insightful update on the recent legislative session in Salem and its impact on the bioscience sector. Additionally, we’ll explore strategic proposals aimed at driving investments and creating new opportunities within our industries, discussing how these proposals can be transformed into actionable legislation.
Amidst engaging discussions, there will be ample time to network and connect with fellow bio-colleagues before and after the main program. Don’t miss this valuable event!
