Annual Peptide Therapeutics Symposium 2026

It takes place at Scripps Seaside Forum in San Diego, California.

The organizer lists scholars and industry professionals among attendees.

It is most useful for peptide chemists, drug-discovery scientists and business development staff who want to hear from both academic and industry speakers, since the lineup includes Gaurav Bhardwaj, Ahmed H. Badran, Tamer Coskun and Debbie Hay, and sponsors include Zealand Pharma, Neurocrine Biosciences and PolyPeptide. The mix of scholars and industry professionals makes it a good venue for partnering and recruiting in a focused niche, while those outside peptide science or seeking a broad pharma showcase would find the scope narrow.

Attendees at biotech and pharma scientific symposia usually wear business casual, such as slacks or chinos with a collared shirt or blouse, with jackets and ties uncommon. San Diego in October is typically warm, so light layers are enough for a day in the venue.
