The trade show here at BIO 2006 is in full swing and it’s huge. I don’t see how it’s possible to visit every aisle in 3 days if that’s all you did.
To kick it off, Illinois Governor, Rod Blagojevich, did the ribbon cutting. Just before they pulled the scissors out he and BIO President, Jim Greenwood made a few comments.
You can listen to the ribbon cutting remarks here: Ribbon Cutting Remarks (3 min MP3) Note: The audio was a little too hot but it’s very understandable.
