Welcome to the July edition of OBN Update. A slightly less busy month in prospect but there is plenty in our events calendar and preparations for a busy autumn centred on BioForward and The OBN Awards continue apace.

Welcome to the June edition of OBN Update. We hope you all had a nice long weekend in celebration of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. The OBN team took some time out on Wednesday 25 May to visit the Milton Park street party and enjoy some of the food and join in on the activities.

OBN is pleased to announce that Stuart Rose has joined OBN as our new CEO, following the retirement of John Harris. An industry expert, Stuart has been working in the life science sector for over 30 years and will drive a new era of growth at OBN.

With the dreadful events unfolding in Ukraine, we felt it would be appropriate to suggest a way that our network could offer its support. Given the ever-worsening humanitarian situation, we concluded that the most practical way to provide immediate assistance was for us to donate to the British Red Cross, and we encourage our Members and Supporters to consider doing the same.

Welcome to the March edition of OBN Update. Despite the recent stormy weather, the year has started off well with a range of successful digital and in-person events. We are also seeing plenty of interest for BioTrinity 2022, which will take place in-person in London.

Welcome to the February edition of the OBN Update. We are looking forward to a year where business will be (mostly) back to normal and we can meet more of you again in person. And don't worry if you are unable or not quite ready to meet up face-to-face, as we will have plenty of opportunities for you to join our events online.
