The third conference Indiana Life Sciences Collaboration series for 2009/2010 is just a little over a month away – Friday, February 26th at Barnes & Thornburg in Indianapolis. The topic of this conference is Effective Collaboration: A Study in Three Acts. We are trying a new format for this conference – much of it will be  in the style of a theatrical production. The three acts deal with business challenges and partnering opportunities faced in the life sciences. The players are people drawn from industry (Barnes & Thornburg LLP, Eli Lilly and Company, IU Research Technology Corporation, ImmuneWorks, Kingsley Rose LLC, Volatus Advisors LLC, BioCrossroads, Covance Inc.) who have lived the situations portrayed.  Following the play will be a keynote presentation by Bart Peterson, Senior Vice President, Corporate Affair for Eli Lilly and Company, and the day will conclude with a panel discussing global partnering .

We thank our lead sponsors: Barnes & Thornburg LLP and Eli Lilly and Company for putting this event together.  This conference is helpful for those who deal with a broad range of issues including technical, legal, economic or cultural, that come into play when collaborating with other companies or organizations.
