It was held at Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix, AZ.
Cell and gene therapy leaders were the intended audience.
It was most useful for cell and gene therapy developers, manufacturers and service providers who wanted regulatory and partnering contact, since the keynote speaker was listed as the acting director of FDA CBER, more than 1,500 attendees were reported, and Diamond sponsors included Lonza, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Catalent and Miltenyi Biotec.
Attendees at biotech partnering conferences usually wear business casual, such as slacks and button-downs or blouses, with a blazer for evening events. The Arizona Biltmore is a resort in Phoenix in early October, so light clothing for warm days and a layer for air-conditioned rooms make sense.
