The latest life sciences headlines are contradictory at best: the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco had an extremely positive outlook for 2010. Attendees hail this as a sign that IPOs are beginning a long-awaited revival and declare that IPO activity in the life sciences arena is starting to heat up. However, others are more cautious in their observations, stating that IPO offerings are unlikely and Mergers and Acquisitions – not IPOs - are the most viable exit strategy for most investors. What was your take away from the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference? Attend the CEO and CFO Roundtable to share with our industry colleagues your perspective on the biotech IPO market, other financing options and potential exit strategies.
