It starts on October 21, 2026.

The 2026 symposium is at Genentech in South San Francisco, California.

The organizer identifies sample managers, technology providers, and subject matter experts as audience groups.

It is most useful for sample managers and biobank or compound-store staff who want practical comparisons with peers, since the program has five scientific sessions on topics such as AI, automation and supporting multiple modalities, and it is hosted on site at Genentech. Technology providers will find a targeted buyer group, with platinum, gold and silver sponsor tiers present, but anyone outside sample management would find the content narrow.

Life science symposia at company campuses usually call for business casual or smart casual, such as chinos and a collared shirt, with closed-toe shoes if a facility tour is included.
