What’s in Store for 2026...

We don’t rinse and repeat — we upgrade.

New city,
new venue

We're moving west to San Diego, a city at the heart of biotech innovation and our new venue delivers upgraded facilities, elevated catering, and even more dedicated zones to help you make meaningful connections.

Content stages now on the show floor

Your map reading skills will no longer be tested because we've moved all main stages to the exhibit floor - creating a seamless and immersive experience where learning, networking and dealmaking happen side by side.

NEW ways to connect added to the schedule

In 2026 we’re adding fresh energy to networking with a Petco Park takeover and a Topgolf social. These join favorites like the Official Welcome Party and the Phacilitate Run Club.

Networking concierge + human matchmaking

Whether you’re raising funds, buying, selling, or partnering - our upgraded app, live concierge desk, and matchmaking features will help you find the right people at the right time, fast.

5 smarter content
tracks

We’ve streamlined the agenda into five core tracks reflecting
the full development journey. Every track reflects a critical milestone in the therapeutic
development journey, from smarter clinical trials to scalable manufacturing and everything in between.

The return of Special Interest Groups 

Back by popular demand, Special Interest Groups (SIGs) to go deeper on niche challenges, tech trends, and regulatory shifts in curated peer groups. This is your chance to step into a bias-free, non-competitive space where everyone contributes.

Programs evolved to deliver more

This year the Investment Summit grows with deeper insights into funding and strategy, while Women in Advanced Therapies evolves into workshops, mentoring and meet-ups that deliver practical support and lasting community.

Introducing the VIP Experience

Debuting in 2026, the VIP pass not only includes access to premium networking events, it also gives you early access to the app and entry to the new VIP Lounge, a dedicated space created to connect leaders, decision makers and innovators.
