Annual World CB & CDx 2026 took place October 5–8, 2026.
The event reported 850+ senior leaders.
It was held at The Westin Boston Seaport District, 425 Summer Street, Boston, MA 02210.
The organizer describes the audience as senior biomarker/CDx, precision medicine, and diagnostics professionals.
It is most useful for biomarker, companion diagnostics and precision medicine professionals at pharma and diagnostics firms, since speakers were scheduled from AstraZeneca, Novartis, Sanofi and EMD Serono and attendance was reported at 850+. Its narrow drug-diagnostic partnership focus means researchers outside that niche, or early-career staff seeking broad training, would get less.
Pharma and biotech partnering conferences in Boston typically call for business casual, with blazers common and suits less so.
