Annual RNA Targeted Drug Discovery & Development Summit 2026

The summit takes place at Hotel Commonwealth in Boston, Massachusetts.

The published audience includes large-pharma leaders, biotech executives and drug developers, discovery and translational scientists, and academic researchers.

It is most useful for discovery scientists and biotech founders working on RNA-targeted small molecules, since the speaker list mixes companies such as PTC Therapeutics, Remix Therapeutics and Atomic AI with large pharma names like AstraZeneca and Sanofi, which makes partnership conversations realistic. Professionals outside small-molecule RNA work, or those seeking a broad pharma show with a large exhibit hall, would get less from a focused summit organised by Hanson Wade in a hotel venue.

Attendees at biotech and pharma partnering summits in Boston usually wear business casual, such as slacks or chinos with a button-down or blazer, with a layer for a November chill.
