BiologicsR&Dmovesfast, and conferences remain one of the best ways to benchmark what "good" looks like, spotemergingbestpracticesearly, and reality-check your assumption before they turn into expensive experiments. Belowyou'llfind the9biologics conferences worth your time in 2026, whatyou'llget from each one, and a practical checklist so you walk away with actionable insights, not just a tote bag. ### 1) PepTalk(Protein Science &ProductionWeek) Jan 19–22, 2026 | San Diego, CA, USA ###### Bestfor ###### Practical protein and biologics workflows spanning discovery through development. ###### Scale ###### 1500+ attendees ###### What it covered ###### Expression and production, higher throughput & innovation, analytics & preformulation, antibody engineering & therapeutics, plus expanded peptide focused programs. ### 2) World ADC London Feb 23–26, 2026 | London, UK ###### Bestfor ###### End-to-end ADC decision-making, from design through translation, process/analytics, and manufacturing. ###### Scale ###### 800+ attendees ###### What it covered ###### Unlocking novel payload mechanismsto combat Topo1 resistance, improving translation to clinic, and enhancing manufacturing. ### Thermal stability: reading the unfolding curve ###### Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since 1966 Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum. Measuring thermal and colloidal stability simultaneously provides a more complete picture of a molecule’s behavior under stress. Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit. ### 3) FestivalofBiologics(US & Basel) Mar 4–5, 2026 | SanDiego Convention Center, San Diego, CA, USA Oct13–15, 2026 | Hall 1.0, Messe Basel, Basel,Switzerland ###### Bestfor ###### Broad scanning and cross-functional networking across the entire biologics value chain. Upstream science in the same week as downstream constraints (CMC, manufacturing, fill/finish, market access). ###### Scale ###### USA ###### 2,000+attendees ###### Basel ###### 3,000+attendees ###### What it covered ###### "Start-to-finish" biologics, from discovery through market access, across multiple parallel tracks. ### 4) NextGen Biomed Mar 24–25, 2026 | London, UK ###### Bestfor ###### Sessions that give you a concrete playbook for reducing friction in tech transfer. This pain point is explicitly addressed by organizers, which means you'll find people actively working on solutions. ###### Scale ###### 1,100 attendees in 2025 ###### What it covered ###### R&D, development, and manufacturing workflows for biologics, peptides, and oligonucleotides. ### 5) AACR Annual Meeting Apr 17–22, 2026 | San Diego, CA, USA ###### What it covered ###### The cancer research community sharing advances spanning population science / prevention through cancer biology , translational, and clinical studies. ###### Bestfor ###### Translational signal. This is where you see targets, mechanisms, and biomarker direction-of-travel that will shape biologics pipelines 12 to 24 months from now. Don't miss posters in your therapeutic niche. The "next wave" of biologics often shows up here first, before it makes it into high-profile talks or publications. ###### Scale ###### More than 23,000 attendees reported for the 2024 annual meeting. ### 6) PEGS (Boston & Europe) May 11–15, 2026 | Boston, MA, USA ###### Bestfor ###### Deep engineering and developability trade-offs. This is the "how do teams actually decide?" meeting. Don't miss developability and analytical characterization sessions, especially case studies that include failures. These are the most transferable to real programs because they show you what didn't work and why. ###### Scale ###### Boston ###### 2,500+attendees ###### Europe ###### 1,500+attendees ###### What it covered ###### USA: Protein and antibody engineering, drug development, immunotherapy, AI/ML-driven biologics research, plus a dedicated peptide focus for 2026. ###### Europe:Engineering antibodies, machine learning, optimization & developability, analytical characterization, protein stability & formulation, and optimizing expression. ### 7) TIDES USA May 11–14, 2026 |Hynes Convention Center, Boston, MA, USA ###### Bestfor ###### Teams working across (or adjacent to) oligos, peptides, and mRNA who need practical, end-to-end visibility, especially where delivery and CMC constraints dominate decisions. CMC and delivery discussions. These sessions often define feasibility more than the "headline" mechanism. Pay attention to talks that discuss what happened between the proof-of-concept data and the IND filing. ###### Scale ###### 1,900+attendees ###### What it covered ###### Oligonucleotides, peptides, mRNA, genome editing, and delivery, spanning discovery through development, CMC/manufacturing, and commercialization. ### 8) BioProcessInternational (BPI) Sep 22–25, 2026 |Hynes Convention Center, Boston,MA, USA ###### Bestfor ###### Scale-up reality checks. This is where you learn about robustness, manufacturing constraints, and what "production ready" actually means in practice. Don't miss: Sessions that explicitly connect process choices to validation and QA requirements. Timelines are won or lost here, not in the upstream optimization work. ###### Scale ###### 1,900+attendees ###### What it covered ###### Oligonucleotides, peptides, mRNA, genome editing, and delivery, spanning discovery through development, CMC/manufacturing, and commercialization. ### 9) BioTechX(Boston & Basel) Sep 29–30, 2026 |Hynes Convention Center, Boston, MA, USA Oct6–8, 2026 | Messe Basel, Basel, Switzerland ###### Bestfor ###### Deep engineering and developability trade-offs. This is the "how do teams actually decide?" meeting. Don't miss developability and analytical characterization sessions, especially case studies that include failures. These are the most transferable to real programs because they show you what didn't work and why. ###### Scale ###### Boston ###### 1,500+ attendees ###### Basel ###### 3,000+ attendees ###### What it covered ###### Data, AI, precision medicine , genomics , and digital transformation. ### Your Conference Checklist ### Before you go (2–4 weeks out) Define one outcome: Pick one concrete thing you want to improve. Examples: a new developability gate, a better stability-screen strategy, or a specific CMC risk you need to reduce. Build a 3-lane agenda: - Must-learn sessions: 3–6 talks or workshops directly relevant to your outcome - Must-meet people: 10–15 specific individuals (speakers, poster presenters, or peers working on similar problems) - Serendipity blocks: Protected time for posters, expo floor conversations, or unplanned hallway discussions. Write three repeatable questions: Ask the same three questions across multiple sessions. When you get comparable answers, decision-making gets a lot clearer. ### While you're there Use a consistent note template: For every session or conversation, capture: Problem → Approach → Result → Caveat → "Try this Monday" This structure forces you to extract the actionable piece, not just collect information. Schedule at least one deep-dive conversation per day: The most useful details rarely make it onto slides. Find one person per day and go deeper on the thing that matters most to your work right now. ### After the conference (within 48 hours): Send 5–10 follow-ups: Each one should include a clear next step and a proposed time. "Let's stay in touch" doesn't work. "Can we schedule 30 minutes in the next two weeks to discuss your ADC linker stability data?" does. Deliver a one-slide readout to your team: Three insights. Three risks. Three actions. Keep it tight so people actually read it (and so you're forced to prioritize what really matters). ### Make 2026 Count Conferences are an investment of time, budget, and focus. Use this guide to show up with intention, ask better questions, and come back with decisions that move your science forward. Which conferences are on your 2026 calendar? If you're tackling tough characterization questions at any of these events, we'd love to continue the conversation. **See you out there!** ##### There's more to explore ###### Discover more science-led content, practical guidance, and resources to deepen your knowledge and move your research forward with confidence. **Back to resource centre** Breakthrough faster.
