Topic:
In this LabCentral Speaker Series event (sponsored by Silicon Valley Bank), Jonathan Norris will review SVB's annual report on the healthcare industry. Silicon Valley Bank annually analyzes the fundraising, investment, M&A and IPO activity of private, venture-backed biopharma, medical device and diagnostic/tools companies. 
Join us and hear Jon's expert take on the report's findings. Discover how 2016 compares to previous years, discuss the most active VC firms, learn what indications in biotech/pharma attracted the most investment, and much more. Jon will leave you with an understanding of what a slowing IPO and M&A market in 2016 means for 2017, and what you should expect from deals and exits this year.
