Since its beginning in 2001, the annual CGHI Innovation Summit (previously the Georgia Bio Life Sciences Summit) has grown into a must-attend event for Georgia’s bioscience community. The Summit provides a forum for professionals from industry, academia and government to discuss major trends and issues, including topics related to scientific research, product development, financing, business development and public policy. It is the one time each year companies and universities have the opportunity to showcase Georgia’s bioscience innovation. We expect approximately 600 professionals from across Georgia, the Southeast and the nation to participate in this year’s event.

​

The Summit also serves as the only life sciences exposition in Georgia with an exhibit hall featuring the latest research, technology and services at companies, universities and other organizations. In addition to plenary sessions featuring nationally and internationally renowned speakers, the day-long program will include breakout sessions featuring Industry Best Practices Roundtables, innovative research panels, CEO Chats, and company investor presentations. The program will cover the span of life science sectors including biotech/pharma, medical devices, diagnostics, academic research, agricultural biotechnology, and digital health.

​

This year’s Summit experience will highlight:

​

• Perspectives from patients, industry leaders and researchers in all sectors of biosciences and medical innovation.
