About:

The BIO International Convention is the largest and most comprehensive event in biotechnology, drawing 20,000+ industry leaders from across the globe to the San Diego Convention Center. With 130+ sessions across 18 focus areas, BIO 2026 convenes pharma and biotech executives, investors, BD&L teams, R&D leaders, regulators, and academic innovators in one of the most consequential weeks of the summer.

This is where partnerships are seeded, term sheets are circled, and the year's most important conversations happen in rooms too crowded to enter without context. Held under the theme of partnering and translation, BIO is the central forum where the global biopharma ecosystem aligns on what gets built, funded, and acquired next.

For leaders in life sciences, BIO functions as both a strategic briefing and a year-defining dealmaking moment.
