The conference starts on November 11, 2026.

The 2026 conference is at Crowne Plaza San Diego Mission Valley in San Diego, California.

The organizer lists C-suite leaders and presidents, vice presidents and heads, directors and managers, and other attendees.

The agenda covers target identification through lead optimization and translational science in a hotel setting, so it suits discovery-stage teams; late-stage clinical or commercial professionals would find less relevant content.

Attendees at biopharma partnering conferences usually wear business casual, such as slacks and a collared shirt or blazer, and San Diego's mild November weather rarely calls for heavy layers.
