Miami, FL, July 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Based on the success of the co-located World Stem Cell Summit and Phacilitate Leaders World conferences in January 2018, the Regenerative Medicine Foundation (RMF) and Phacilitate announced they will partner again, combining four major international meetings at the Hyatt Regency Miami, January 22-25, 2019. The 15th annual Cell & Gene Therapy World, 14th annual World Stem Cell Summit, Immuno-Oncology Frontiers World and Cord Blood & Perinatal Stem Cells Summit will bring the advanced therapies communities together for a revolutionary gathering in Miami, Florida.
The World Stem Cell Summit (WSCS), hosted by the Florida-based Regenerative Medicine Foundation, is the original, translation-focused, interdisciplinary networking and partnering conference in the stem cell science and regenerative medicine field. London-based Phacilitate is recognized as a market leader in providing strategic insight and unparalleled business networking for senior professionals in cell, gene and immunotherapy to stay informed of the issues driving the commercialization of advanced therapies. Phacilitate Leaders World was recently recognized with the top prize of “Best Conference” at the 2018 Association of Event Organizers (AEO) Excellence Awards.
In January 2018, the co-located meeting brought together 1,550 attendees from 35 countries with 100 exhibitors for the largest commercial advanced therapies conference in the world. The renewed partnership in 2019 is expected to attract 2,000 attendees, 150 exhibitors and 300 speakers representing every major stakeholder group. Pre-registration is now open at http://www.phacilitate-leaders-world.com/pre-register-for-2019.
“We listen to our community every day and the need to unite industry with best in class hospitals, researchers and policy makers has never been so critical. We’re excited to welcome co-organizers from major institutions such as Mayo Clinic, Wake Forest School of Medicine, University of Miami Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute, Weill Cornell Medicine and New York Stem Cell Foundation. By aligning these events, we unite voices advancing cell and gene therapy industrialization in a way no organization can achieve by themselves,” said Michael Adeniya, Director of Advanced Therapies at Phacilitate.
“Each year, we see the collaborations forged at the World Stem Cell Summit moving us closer to cures,” said Bernard Siegel, Founder of the WSCS and Executive Director of the RMF. “Our event fosters ties across many participants including scientists, doctors, business leaders, regulators, funders, medical philanthropies, patient advocacy leaders and experts in law, ethics and economic development. Our shared goal is to improve health and deliver cures. Joining with Phacilitate creates an exciting added value and opportunity to our combined advanced therapies community.”
