I have arrived at BIO 2006 and the first thing to do was check in and scope out the news room layout. Very nicely done. I didn’t even bother to count how many work stations are set up here. It’s first come, first serve so I’ll be here early tomorrow.

This will be home for most of the next several days. You should see the “program.” I’ve seen many telephone books that are smaller. There’s no way to read it in 3 days but it’s well organized. There’s a nice tab for the agenda which I think is most important. Everyone who attends receives a very nice little shoulder pack. And of course it has an iPod holder and hole to poke your headphone cord through.

I’ve requested an interview with a communications director to talk about what it took to put the whole media outreach and press center together for this event. The staff person I spoke with said I was the only reporter they knew who is blogging this event. Interesting.
