BIO2020 LIVE - 2nd to 4th June online Over 80 confirmed speakers

Since our initial post regarding BIO2020 LIVE we have been taken aback by the response to this year’s online event. With over 80 speaking slots now confirmed, we are set to bring you, we imagine, Oxfordshire’s largest online event…..and you can enjoy it anywhere!

We will be bringing you an event which you can ‘attend’ for three days without leaving your desk (whether that’s at home or in the office), where you can dip in and out of talks which you see relevant to you and your business and catch up using our video bank of talks when you can’t join us live.

Tickets are ￡30+VAT (￡10+VAT for B4 Members) and can be secured at https://www.businessinoxford.com/#/tickets?lang=en.

BIO2020 will deliver a wide range of inspiring, engaging and informative content. We will feature speakers delivering relevant advice about the world post COVID-19, the original #changethewayyouthink theme will still run strongly throughout BIO2020 and speakers will give us their take on how they and their companies are adapting to life now and for the future.

On each of the three days we will have an invited preview panel who will join us around 8am to look ahead to the day’s 30+ talks and pick out their favourites. Similarly, at the end of each day, we will have a review of the day, much like the Wimbledon ‘review of the day’s play’ where an invited panel will again discuss their personal highlights and key takeaways. Delegates (only) can catch up on demand with the growing bank of recorded talks available for those that they couldn’t see live.

We’re also delighted to be giving the amazing Oxfo,rdshire based charity, SpecialEffect the opportunity to promote the incredible work they do and raise some much needed funds. We’ll be joined by Dr Mick Donegan and Nick Streeter of SpecialEffect and, in the absence of this year’s planned Twin Town 2020, Town Town founder Brendon Cross will also join us on the opening day of BIO2020 LIVE. They’ve got some amazing prizes that delegates can bid for including a signed Lionel Messi shirt and will tell us other ways we can all help SpecialEffect use BIO2020 to generate funds. More details to be announced about this and the beneficiary charities for days two and three.
