French Bio Bay Dinner with a salsa twist on Tuesday 18 March 08 March 18, 2008

We are ready to get together again for our next event on Tuesday 18 March 2008 where a lesson of salsa dance will be given between 6 and 7 pm and a couple of local associations/groups of interest will introduce themselves.

Our featured speakers are:

* Georges-Igor Chagvardieff, Biotechnologies & HealthCare Attache for the Economic Department of the Embassy of France
* Alexandre Thermet, VP Life Sciences, Invest In France North America

A lot of us probably wonder what a Mission Economique does, and what the role of the Mission Scientifique is. Georges-Igor will explain their role.

Invest In France is also a government sponsored institution that many of us don't know too well. Alexandre will be there to answer your questions.

The networking dinner for a prix fixe of $30 (all included price: food, glass of wine, tips and taxes) will start at 6 pm with a salsa dance lesson and feature a 3 course buffet in a private room setting.

To RSVP and book by Sunday 16 March 2008, go to http://www.acteva.com/booking.cfm?bevaid=154065 using FBB0308 as your password (note that there is an additional $1.00 credit card processing fee, and Acteva charges $1.81 for the reservation processing).

Walk-ins will be accepted but will have to pay $40.00 at the door. No one will be admitted without paying the fee, even if you don't intend to eat, you have to pay to attend this event.

Again French Bio Bay does not make any profit from the events and the organizers/volunteers pay just like everyone else.

As a reminder, our group is now on FaceBook and LinkedIn (the online network of more than 19 million experienced professionals).

$32.81 ($30 dinner, $2.81 Credit card and Acteva fees) in advance, $40 at door.
