Event Features
Conferences are designed for building connections. Sometimes though, you need a designated meeting space and common interests to make those connections. We are excited to offer The Plaza as a gathering place to facilitate connections.
The Plaza, located in the Exhibit Hall, provides a meeting spot for people with similar interests to convene and construct a plan to take advantage of all that PepTalk: The Protein Science and Production Week has to offer.
