The Toronto BioTechnology Initiative offers its members, and the biotechnology community a diverse range of exciting educational and social programs, designed to provide high level educational learning sessions as well as networking opportunities.

Our monthly Breakfast Meetings run 10 times per year from January to June, and from September to December.  Generally held in the downtown core, but with plans to also be offered in the western and northern areas of the greater Toronto region, each breakfast session attacts registration levels between 150 and 200, addressing topical issues of interest to senior biotech leaders, scientists, and students alike.

A more recent program addition for TBI is the creation of a series of "C-level" forums, designed to provide a high level learning and networking venue for Chief Executive Officers, Chief Scientific Officers, and Chief Financial Officers of biotech companies.  We generally schedule three Forums each year, two in the Spring and at least one in the Fall.

The Annual President's Awards Gala has become an important fixture on the biotech calendar for our community. Generally held in mid-February in downtown Toronto, the Awards Gala is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate significant contributions to our sector by outstanding business leaders, community leaders, and long serving volunteers. At the 2006 Gala Dinner, we were honoured to have the participation by the Premier of Ontario, the Honourable Dalton McGunity. Details will be available soon on this site for our 2007 Dinner.

Another popular event on the TBI calendar is the Annual Golf Tournament.  Held each August, this event always sells out early and provides an opportunity for our members and their corporate guests to escape the office and enjoy the companionship of a day on the links. Great prizes and plenty of fun.  Register early if your are interested in participating.
