"We're Here"
A Unique Program to Inform the Local Life Sciences Community
Of the Resources and Opportunities Available in the Metroplex

 

About the Program:  It’s no secret that our local life sciences community, although growing, is still fragmented.  As recently as a few months ago, erroneous public statements that North Texas does not have the resources to bring projects to fruition were rampant.  Unfortunately, many still believe this.  To begin closing the gap between perception and reality — in all aspects of local life sciences — “We’re Here” will showcase Metroplex resources.  The program will be ‘pitches’ by organizations/ corporations/inventors/investors/scientists/companies seeking to fill positions, etc., who will speak for two minutes each about what they do, what they can provide, and, if applicable, what they’re looking for in this area.  Display tables for participants’ PR materials will be provided.  Contact info for all the presenters will be collated into a spreadsheet which will be distributed and also posted on www.fwlsc.org.  Presenters will be able to add a slide to Scroll-a-Rama. 

 

Bonus: Dr. Susan Carson of Strategic Placement has generously offered to provide ‘pitch coaching’ to presenters.  At least 30 minutes of advice will be available for $20 (in addition to event donations) plus the first three presenters who contact Dr. Carson will receive complementary coaching.  Contact Dr. Carson directly at www.splacments.com or at scarson@splacements.com or by phone at 817-742-0380.
