Championing Sustainability at ChinaBio® Partnering Forum

There will be a limited quantity of printed materials onsite to significantly reduce our usage of paper products. 

We will have QR codes in several locations that can be easily scanned to pull up information. This includes the event floor plan, and any other relevant documentation.

Instead of the conventional plastic holders, we're opting for a greener alternative. 

Each attendee will be provided with a name badge from paper, embodying our commitment to reducing plastic waste and embracing eco-friendly practices. 

In our efforts to minimize our footprint, we are reducing meat consumption during ChinaBio Partnering Forum overall.

Please also watch out for recycle bins and make sure you do your part!
