In 2009 we moved our large annual NanoBusiness conference to Chicago, we believed the NanoBusiness Alliance still needed to produce a special event for our New York City-based constituent. We found a strong strategic partner in the NYBA, and we are proud to co-locate our New York event with their highly-respected conference.
