I'm pleased to point out that today the <\/span>LinkedIn Cell Therapy Industry Group<\/a> welcomed its 4,000th member<\/span> today. <\/span>

<\/span>
The Cell Therapy Industry group was created to serve as a network of those in the cell therapy industry. The group acts as a vehicle for referrals, networking, information, and facilitating collaboration.<\/span>  The group's focus is on the activities of companies in and serving the space.<\/span>

<\/span>
The group began in July 2008. It took 2.5 years to reach the first 1000 members, 9 mos to reach 2,0000, 6 months to reach 3,000, and 6 months to meet today's 4,000 member mark. <\/span>

<\/span>
As is typical, there is a very high percentage of passive participants but the group benefits from an avid group of participants who post, share, exchange, and debate on a range of topics ranging from regulatory, clinical, commercial, scientific, manufacturing, financial, and other topics of interest to the group.<\/span>

<\/span>
As the group has grown I've noted two trends pertaining to the composition of the membership:  (a) having tapped out the c-level suite, growth is increasingly coming from down the hierarchy of the corporate food chain and including those in the operational trenches, and (b) a much higher ratio of new members of late is from outside the US, presumably as LinkedIn increasingly penetrates OUS markets.<\/span>

<\/span>
We strive hard to maintain the quality of the participation by screening each applicant, deleting off-topic posts, moving promotional posts to the \"promotions\" tab\" and encouraging a balance of news-sharing with useful discussion threads.<\/span>

<\/span>
I'm proud to say the group has become a vibrant and valuable part of the sector due to the hard work and contributions of all involved.    <\/span>

<\/span>
As these kind of virtual networks become exponentially larger and provide different value than the professional societies representing the sector, I will be fascinated to watch if and how this affects how sectors like our interact and how this will impact the traditional value proposition of member-based professional societies.<\/span>
