On Thursday, September 11, 2008, the annual BIOCOM/IFMA/ISPE (Int'l Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering) Facilities reception was held at the Biogen Idec facility in UTC.  This well-attended mixer was geared toward facility managers and service providers in the biotech area, but was open to all BIOCOM, IFMA, and ISPE members.  We wish to thank Faith Picking of BIOCOM for organizing this great networking event for professionals working in this premier industry sector in San Diego County.  We also wish to thank Biogen Idec for agreeing to be the site for the mixer.
