On February 3, 2007, Haas Healthcare and BioBusiness hosted the inaugural HAAS HEALTHCARE CONFERENCE.

We are planning on having our annual “Spring Mixer” in San Francisco on Thursday, April 19 (likely from 6-8pm or so).  This event will be a bit more casual than last spring’s successful mixer but will be structured to facilitate discussions between students and relevant industry attendees making the event valuable to all. 

In addition to the Spring Mixer, we will host several other events to facilitate discussion regarding the latest developments in the healthcare and biotech industries as well as to encourage networking between Haas students, business professionals, and members of the greater Bay Area academic community. Future H2B2 events will include reiterations of the following events that Healthcare@Haas and the Berkeley BioBusiness Association hosted last year:
