On January 19-20, 2010 the first annual Personalized Medicine World Conference (PMWC) will be held in Silicon Valley. The event boasts an impressive lineup of speakers, including Complete Genomics CEO Cliff Reid, Silicon Valley heavyweight Esther Dyson, and Navigenics Chief Medical Officer Vance Vanier. Personalized Medicine is a big theme for us here at the Hub and the event looks to be the perfect mousetrap for us to pick up some juicy stories for our readers. Singularity Hub will be attending the event in style sporting our finest duds and even hosting our own booth. Why not buy a ticket (or get your company to buy you one) and join us for the fun?
Although the impressive list of speakers will be reason enough to attend, the PMWC will be kicking things up a notch by offering an exciting exhibition where 20 promising companies will compete to win the PMWC 2010 Most Promising Early Stage Company award. Several of these relatively unknown companies will be presenting some pretty awesome innovations in the field of personalized medicine and we can’t wait to see them and write about them. The PMWC is still accepting entrants for the competition, so be sure to let them know if your company or one that you know of is the next hot thing that we all have been waiting for.
The conference is being organized and produced by Silicom Ventures, an angel and venture capital investment fund, and is being co-hosted with the Stanford University Medical Center. The event will be held at the Computer History Museum just up the street from Singularity Hub Headquarters in beautiful Mountain View, CA.
