Lightning Talks

Members are the heart of the Member Meeting – we want to feature you! This year, the Member Meeting will include sessions where members will present on their latest technologies, products, or research. If you are interested in presenting in one of these sessions, please indicate it on the registration form.

  • Present your elevator pitch for your newest products in fibers and textiles, personal care, foods, materials or other products that will introduce consumers to bioindustrial manufacturing. Ideal for members looking for offtake agreements, brand partnerships, and end users. Be sure to include market insights and other relevant supporting data.

  • Share your latest products that are relevant to national security and defense, like biocement, fuels, warfighter protection, and more. Ideal for members looking to meet with representatives from the U.S. Department of Defense or larger defense contractors.

  • Do you have a contract manufacturing facility, downstream processing equipment, scale-up services, or infrastructure that’s available to members? Share your capabilities with potential partners through this session.

  • If you’re working with alternative feedstocks like waste valorization, gas fermentation, agricultural waste, or something else, share your latest research advancements and capabilities.

  • Share how your developments with new bioreactor design, novel sensors, or improved modeling are improving bioindustrial manufacturing through reduced costs, increased speed, or other benefits.

  • Do you offer software that improves product development, speeds up the search for strains, uses AI to improve biomanufacturing, or another innovative use of data? Share your tools with potential users! This session would also be relevant for companies offering Techno-Economic Analysis and/or Life Cycle Analysis services. 

  • Would you like to present on something that doesn’t neatly fit into one of the categories above? Propose it here!
