Dear Colleague,

We are excited to announce the 8th CNS Partnering & Deal-Making Conference, to be held September 10-11, 2015 in Philadelphia, PA.

This meeting seeks to form discussion on all topics from bench to bedside, from changing paradigm in scientific approaches in CNS disorders to partnerships for open innovation to pricing and reimbursement considerations. Colleagues will dialogue and form new relationships in order to forge a path forward into the future of neuroscience.
