The Seventh Annual Southeastern BIO (SEBIO) Investor Forum is set for November 30 - December 2, 2005, in Charleston, South Carolina, and will showcase the best of the Southeast biotech industry in a city that exudes holiday magic with a genteel southern charm. Charleston offers a rare combination of activities to please all members of the family at Christmas, especially spouses.

The city of Charleston will celebrate the holiday season this December with "Holiday Magic in Historic Charleston," offering tours, performances, and decorations that capture the spirit of the season for everyone in the community. A 60-foot Tree of Lights and decorations throughout the city will enchant. We encourage you to bring a guest and escape before the busy holiday season.

Guests and spouses of SEBIO attendees have many wonderful options to keep them busy during the day. They can take advantage of excellent holiday gift shopping just steps away from Charleston Place Hotel, enjoy a full range of spa services, tour some of the most beautiful antebellum architecture in the country, and discover a lively mix of low country cuisine.

The SEBIO organization has planned an Investor Forum filled with expert seminars, keynote speakers renown in their fields, and a first-hand look at some of the best life sciences companies in the Southeast.
