Considering Hosting an Event at BIO?

 

Please Use our Affiliated Events Request Online Submission Form

 

Information & Guidelines

We desire to maintain the focus and integrity of the convention and therefore must be kept apprised of and approve all affiliated events being held in conjunction with the BIO International Convention.

BIO manages all function space at the official convention hotels preceding and during the convention.

Due to space limitations, the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center is not available. Companies requesting hotel function space must be registered to attend the convention.

Approved times: In order to meet approval and avoid competing with convention events, the Affiliated Event requested must fall within approved days/times listed below:

Sunday, May 6	Monday, May 7	Tuesday, May 8	Wednesday, May 9
6:00 a.m. - 8:00 a.m.	6:00 a.m. - 7:30 a.m.	6:00 a.m. - 7:30 a.m.	6:00 a.m. - 7:30 a.m.
9:00 p.m.+	5:30 p.m.+	9:30 p.m.+	9:30 p.m.+

 

Your request will be reviewed, and if approved, a letter confirming release of function space will be sent to you and the hotel. A hotel representative will then contact you regarding your specific arrangements including food and beverage rates and function space rental, if applicable.

All expenses associated with affiliated events will be the responsibility of function host. BIO is not responsible nor can negotiate on your behalf, for any hotel fees associated with room rental, food/beverage minimums, etc.; therefore, it is strongly advised that you contract preferred hotel(s) BEFORE submitting an application, so you are aware of other charges associated with your event, at your preferred hotel.

Last day to submit is May 1, 2007

A separate application must be completed for each event request. We kindly request fourteen (14) business days to process Affiliated Event Request Application(s).
