I applaud the conference’s commitment to diversity as a driver for innovation in the session topics, presenters, and attendees. I felt inspired, heard, and hopeful for the future of biomaterial innovation.

TESco has been a strong supporter of SFB for decades because we believe they play an important and relevant role in the education and sharing of biomaterials science and business experience for those interested in the biomaterials field. TESco’s team looks forward to this conference every year as an opportunity to network with experts in the field, meet clients and to reach students just entering.

SFB is truly at the intersection of career development and scientific innovation! The meetings cultivate an environment of belonging that's present from the pre-meeting workshops to each of the scientific sessions.

SFB is a well-run, well attended, and diverse conference. The forum for discussion SFB provides not only includes education for students and those interested in biomaterials, but also incorporates the relevance, importance, and challenges of applying biomaterials sciences in industrial applications.

It was heartening to see the Society for Biomaterials give the important subjects of innovation and DEI collective airtime in the plenary opening session. These topics are foundational and will continue to be transformational for all of us. It was a robust and open discussion which sets the stage for continued attention in future meetings.

SFB meetings rock! I always learn about new ideas and techniques in research and professional development, and am able to network with colleagues and make new acquaintances.

Attending SFB meetings has been crucial to my research career. I have made powerful networks through SFB and gained leadership skills through my involvement with the organization!

Being able to connect and collaborate with other industry professionals and academics in the biomaterials space provided me the opportunity to participate in stimulating scientific conversations and network with my peers. This is truly the place to further your knowledge and understanding of biomaterials science.

The Biomaterials BASH was a phenomenal event! The Maryland Science Center was wonderful, the food was delicious, and the addition of the water taxi transportation was fun and exciting! What a great way to end an already dynamic meeting.

The SFB Annual Meeting is the place to be for biomaterials scientists from all over the world, a perfect combination of leading edge science and networking with friends and colleagues.
