PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- RRY Publications today announced the preliminary line-up of presenters for the 2nd Annual Stem Cell Summit, which is slated to be the largest group of stem cell company executives, scientists, investors and physicians ever assembled to focus on the commercialization and use of stem-cell-based products.
Set for Feb. 12-13, 2007, in San Diego, the conference will feature company and product overviews presented by executives from:

In addition to the company and product overviews, the conference will host the first live stem cell surgery in which attendees can ask questions in real-time as surgeons use a stem-cell-based product in the operating room.
"The diversity of presenting companies reflects the wide range of stem-cell-based products that are currently in development and, in many cases, commercialization," said Robin Young, president of Philadelphia-based RRY Publications, producer of the Stem Cell Summit and publisher of Stem Cell Market Forecast and Analysis 2005-2015. "Our conference is an ideal venue for investors to learn about current and future opportunities in the stem cell space, for company executives to meet with peers and prospective collaborators, and for physicians to hear the latest news on stem-cell-based products that are in use today."
In March, the 1st Annual Stem Cell Summit attracted more than 175 participants and 30 presenters, and the 2nd Annual Stem Cell Summit is expected to attract more than 300 participants and 35 presenters.
