The AAPS National Biotechnology Conference is the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists' biologics meeting — the biotherapeutics-focused sibling of PharmSci 360. The 2027 edition runs at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center in Rockville, Maryland.
Dates and venue
- Conference: May 10-13, 2027
- Venue: Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center, Rockville, MD, USA
- Scope: biotherapeutics — protein and peptide therapeutics, cell and gene therapy, bioassays and bioanalysis, immunogenicity and biologics CMC
- Organizer: American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS)
Who should attend
The NBC is the focused room: where PharmSci 360 spans the whole of pharmaceutical science, this meeting belongs to the people building biologics. If your work touches a BLA — comparability protocols, potency assays, immunogenicity assessments, cell and gene therapy CMC — the science presented here is the substance of your next module, presented by the scientists writing it. The location is its own argument: the I-270 corridor venue puts the meeting minutes from the FDA's Maryland campuses and the densest biologics cluster on the East Coast.
The same week in Washington, the 2027 FDLI Annual Conference covers the law and policy side of the same programmes — and the events directory lists everything we have verified.

What is the AAPS National Biotechnology Conference?
The American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists' annual biologics meeting — the biotherapeutics-focused counterpart to PharmSci 360, covering the science of protein therapeutics, cell and gene therapy, bioassays, bioanalysis and immunogenicity.
Is the NBC relevant to regulatory professionals?
Yes — biologics CMC, comparability, bioassay and immunogenicity science is precisely what BLA modules and agency questions are made of, and the meeting convenes minutes from the FDA's Maryland campuses, with agency scientists regular participants at AAPS meetings.
