RegMed Capital Conference Brings Global Investors Together with Industry Leaders and Entrepreneurs to Finance Cures
RegMed Capital Conference Joins World Stem Cell Summit – December 10-12 in Atlanta
ATLANTA, Dec. 2, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Genetics Policy Institute (GPI) and Regenerative Medicine Foundation (RMF) announced that the second annual RegMed Capital Conference (RMCC) will be hosted as a co-located meeting at the 11th annual World Stem Cell Summit, December 10-12 at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta.
“The RegMed Capital Conference is designed to attract new money to our field and provides actionable intelligence supporting both industry and the investment communities. Company presentations will showcase new developments and clinical trial results to the investor community. RMCC introduces executives to a qualified audience of investment bankers, venture capitalists and angel capital investors,” said Bernard Siegel, Founder of the World Stem Cell Summit & RegMed Capital Conference and Executive Director of GPI.
The RegMed Capital Conference is fully integrated into the World Stem Cell Summit platform, providing attendees a complete 360-degree view of the Regenerative Medicine industry, stem cell science, clinical trials and regulation along with investment opportunities for companies targeting cures. Designed to build relationships and collaboration, the conference includes a sophisticated on-site partnering forum powered by JuJama. This custom mobile app allows attendees to identify people they want to meet, ask for a meeting and have it automatically fit into their schedules at the conference.
“The past World Stem Cell Summit & RegMed Capital Conference was a bonanza for StemBioSys,” said Bob Hutchens, President and CEO of StemBioSys. “As a growing company in the stem cell space, preparing to launch our first product in 2015, the connections and ongoing collaborations that we made at these meetings has already exhibited a multifold return on investment in spreading the word about SBS and uncovering several new opportunities for business and product development.”

As a result, there’s a sense of commitment, excitement and sharing that runs through the conference, making it an open forum for learning and connecting.”
