The campaign promotes life science organizations within Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana as well as those in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Each campaign participant's logo is added to an electronic and printed map that is featured online and at industry events or career fairs.

"We have nine annual Hotbed campaigns, and they each represent a prominent opportunity for industry businesses to showcase their brand, location and industry presence," said Joe Kroog, BioSpace's Director of Product Management.
