Receive a 15% discount with the code "MLSC". The Conference Forum's First Annual Chief Medical Officer Summit for Emerging Life Science Companies is delighted to present a truly distinctive and interactive event for CMOs. The role of a Chief Medical Officer is one that means many things to many people, and indeed is radically different depending on the type of organization in which a CMO works. For a CMO of a small life science company, the role is often an isolated one, but with all the responsibility for driving the clinical development and CRO management while meeting the needs of investors and positioning for an appropriate exit. Chief Medical Officers in most emerging biotechs are playing an increasingly larger role in raising funding for their life science companies. We are dedicated to accomplishing two goals: 1. To bring together CMO executives to address the unique challenges associated with directing and managing all R&D functions with limited resources, while raising capital, working and meeting with investors and strategizing for appropriate exits. 2. To create a network of CMOs from small to mid size life science companies to share ideas, solutions and support.

  • New England Patriots, Gillette Stadium, and 802.11Ac Wave 2 Wireless
    EXTREME NETWORKS EBOOK Tech Tailgate New England Patriots, Gillette Stadium, and 802.11ac Wave 2 Wireless 1. Patriots Initial Investment in Wi-Fi and the Transformation of the Connected Stadium 2. Why Now – Timing of the Wave 2 Wireless Upgrade 3. Wi-Fi Coach Program and Eliciting Feedback From Fans 4. Technical Considerations and Fan Experience Benefits of Investing in Wave 2 Wireless 5. Business Impacts and Support of Digital Initiatives Moving Forward Entering his 22nd season with the team, we sat down with Fred Kirsch, VP of Content with Kraft Sports Productions and the New England Patriots, to discuss fan engagement technologies and mobile connectivity, specifically the team’s decision to upgrade to 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi throughout Gillette Stadium entering the 2016 NFL season. In 2012, the NFL’s New England Patriots embarked on a journey to deliver in-venue Wi-Fi connectivity to anyone attending a game or an event at Gillette Stadium, their home field in Foxborough, MA. The decision to invest in this technology wasn’t immediately motivated by a desire to increase attendance or leverage the network to establish consistent revenue streams for the club. Instead, the Patriots recognized the cultural shift toward a heightened engagement with digital mediums, and with it the growing expectations of their fan base to stay connected to their mobile devices. Ultimately, the goal was to provide the best possible experience for their fans. The resulting Wi-Fi network was met with an encouraging response, and the Patriots were seen as pioneers for successfully tackling the in-venue connectivity challenge at a time when other clubs were still debating the investment.
