key areas:
-- Bioware -- The convergence of "wet biology", computer software/hardware

discovery.

software/hardware and electronics, with applications in diagnostics,

Dr. Robert Lee Kilpatrick, a partner at TVG LLC, says that BioPartnering
Ventures will offer something for the mind, body and spirit. "This meeting,"
he states, "has been created to provide a retreat for industry leaders and
investors seeking to better understand the key technology trends that are
shaping the future. For the mind there will be panel discussions with
technology gurus followed by hands on demonstrations, with the opportunity for
cutting-edge companies to meet privately with international investors and for
investors to spend some unhurried time with their peers. For the body, there
will be a golf tournament on the highly regarded Silverado South course on the
afternoon of the second day. And the wines that the Napa, Sonoma and
Alexander Valleys are justly famous for, promise to reward the spirit of
attendees each year they return to this gathering."
In addition to meeting on-site in Napa Valley, delegates will have access
to BPV Online, a password-protected, "virtual conference" on the Internet
where registered companies profile their goals and activities, research
potential partners, make new contacts and schedule private meetings.

Silicon Valley Bank, Cooley Godward & ING Baring Furman Selz. It is also
supported by BioCentury Publications, Inc., California Trade & Commerce
