WASHINGTON, May 23, 2024 ~ Award-winning actress and producer Viola Davis will be taking the stage at the 2024 BIO International Convention in San Diego on Tuesday, June 4, 2024. She will be joined by award-winning journalist and bestselling author Brooke Baldwin for a discussion on "The Convergence of Entrepreneurship and Innovation."

She will also discuss how her diagnosis of prediabetes in 2016 and a family history of Type 2 diabetes have turned her into an advocate for diabetes research, education, and awareness.
In addition to her successful career in the entertainment industry, Davis has also been involved in advocacy work, including narrating the diabetes-focused documentary "A Touch of Sugar." Her experiences are sure to inspire the audience of innovators at the convention who face challenges in their pursuit of treatments and cures for serious diseases like diabetes.

"I've come to understand the profound importance of resilience in my journey as an entrepreneur in the entertainment industry," said Davis. "Through facing adversity head on and persevering, I've learned invaluable life lessons that I believe those in the biotech community can relate to. It is through such tenacity that we forge our respective paths to success."
The discussion will be moderated by former CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin, who is also known for her bestselling book "Huddle: How Women Unlock Their Collective Power." In this book, she redefines the word 'huddle' to explore how women support each other and empower one another to enact meaningful change. Baldwin recently published a powerful essay titled "Leaving CNN Was How I Found My Voice" in Vanity Fair.
The BIO International Convention is the largest global event for the biotech industry, bringing together over 18,000 leaders in the research and development of innovative healthcare, agricultural, industrial, and environmental biotechnology products. The convention will take place at the San Diego Convention Center from June 3 – 6, 2024.
