Description

Biotech Showcase™ is an investor and networking conference devoted to providing private and
small- and mid-cap biotechnology companies an opportunity to present to and meet with
investors and biopharmaceutical executives during the course of one of the largest annual
healthcare conferences that attracts investors and biopharmaceutical executives from
around the world.
The 2018 event showed a substantial increase in the number of presenting companies, as
well as significant growth in the number of attendees and one-to-one meetings. Now in its
eleventh year, Biotech Showcase 2019 is expected to feature presentations by over 400
public and private companies and attract more than 3,600 attendees, including 900
investors. The event will run a full program of topical plenary sessions and workshops,
including special-focus events dedicated to emerging trends.
The demand for innovation in all areas of human health is the impetus behind Digital
Medicine & Medtech Showcase, a focus event taking place during Biotech Showcase at
Parc 55 in San Francisco. The event brings together key stakeholders at the convergence of

traditional therapeutics, digital tools, combination products, companion diagnostics,
precision medicine, AI and other technical advances to explore funding opportunities,
partnerships and collaboration.
Biotech Showcase is co-produced by Demy-Colton Life Science Advisors and EBD Group.
Both organizations have a long history of providing high quality business support services to
the biotechnology industry.

Partner Voices
MGM Resorts is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse culture, not just among employees and guests but also within its supply chain. The company prioritizes procuring goods and services from businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans, people with disabilities, LGBTQ individuals and those facing economic disadvantages. This commitment is integral to MGM Resorts' global procurement strategy.    Through its voluntary supplier diversity program, MGM Resorts actively identifies and connects certified diverse-owned suppliers to opportunities within its supply chain. The company is on track to spend at least 15% of its biddable procurement with diverse-owned businesses by 2025, demonstrating that supplier diversity is not only a social responsibility but also a strategic business imperative.    Supplier diversity isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s good for business. A diverse supply chain allows access to a broader range of perspectives and experience, helping to drive innovation, entrepreneurship and resilience, while strengthening communities. At MGM Resorts, engaging diverse suppliers ensures best-in-class experiences for guests and clients. Supplier diversity ensures a more resilient supply chain while supporting economic development in the communities in which it operates.   The impact of MGM Resorts' supplier diversity initiatives is significant. In 2023, these efforts supported over 3,500 jobs across more than 30 states, contributed over $214 million in income for diverse-owned businesses and generated more than $62 million in tax revenue. The story extends beyond the numbers – it reflects the tangible benefits brought to small and diverse-owned businesses, fostering economic empowerment in their communities.    MGM Resorts also supports the development and business skills of diverse-owned businesses through investment, mentorship and education. Through the MGM Resorts Supplier Diversity Mentorship Program, the company identifies, mentors and develops diverse-owned businesses to fill its future pipeline, while providing businesses with tools and resources to empower and uplift. Since 2017, the program has successfully graduated 105 diverse-owned businesses and is on track to achieve its goal of 150 graduates by 2025.     MGM Resorts’ commitment to supplier diversity not only enhances its business operations but also plays a crucial role in uplifting communities and fostering economic development. This approach reinforces the idea that diversity is a powerful driver of innovation and resilience, benefiting both the company and the wider community.
