New owners for Bio-IT World... right before Life Sciences Expo!?!

Earlier this week, Cambridge Healthtech Institute (CHI) announced that it had acquired Bio-IT World's media and event properties, formerly a part of the IDG family. It's an interesting shift given the fact that Bio-IT World's premier event, Life Sciences Expo, is just four weeks away.

Although CHI has said that 13 of the staff members at Bio-IT World will be remaining with the publication, there have already been some departures. Our best wishes to Sal Salamone, who left Bio-IT World this week to pursue freelance opportunities. We've worked with Sal for many years at this publication and others such as BYTE, Internet Week and Network World. We'll look forward to hearing more about his new adventures.
