Dear BioOne Community,
‘Tis the season – the conference season! Whether traveling or attending virtually, many of you may relate to the challenges presented by balancing meeting participation with the demands of daily work and personal life. But as sure as there will be lanyards – and copious amounts of coffee – there will also be connection, and inspiration, and the chance to meet new potential collaborators.
It is a great privilege for myself and other members of the BioOne team to attend industry and community events to share the BioOne story, promote our mission, and underscore the importance of a diverse and independent publishing ecosystem. This past week, I was delighted to join the Leadership Roundtable at Platform Strategies 2023, where we spoke about balancing stability with sustainability for ourselves and for our stakeholders. I am always inspired by the questions received and discussion generated from events like these, and particularly savor the chance to highlight the critical work of BioOne’s smaller societies.
If you’d like to see where else we’ll be attending or speaking, please take a look at our conference calendar and let us know if you’ll be there, too. We’d value the opportunity to meet with you and learn more about what BioOne means to you – yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
In partnership,
Lauren Kane
President/CEO
