[edit] Origin of the name

GTCbio was founded as a subsidiary of Global Technology Community, LLC (GTC)^[1], which gave the new company its first GTC three-letter prefix. Many people today know the company as just GTC.

[edit] Company's evolution

GTCbio was founded in 2002. Since its inception GTCbio has grown through several distinct phases. At its founding, GTCbio was distinguished simply by its ability to organize specialized biotechnology conferences for highly specialized expert audiences. However, as the popularity of GTCbio's biotechnology conferences increased, the company significantly expanded the number and breadth of its conferences. In 2007 the company organized 29 biotechnology conferences in the United States.

Today GTCbio keeps touch with over 700,000 industry participants via direct mail and works with all major biopharmaceutical companies worldwide. It expanded into biotechnology consulting, industry research services and promotion services.

[edit] Announced Conferences

One of its flagship annual conferences is Modern Drug Discovery and Development (M3D) Summit, one of the major industry conferences with several hundred industry, academic and government speakers, multiple tracks, workshops, study and plenary sessions. This takes place every fall and offers attendees a compressive outlook on the biopharma field, including drugs and therapies in development, new methods and techniques as well as optimal networking opportunities.
