Who should attend
BIO is built around one-to-one partnering, and that shapes who gets value from it: business development, licensing and executive teams first, with regulatory leaders attending to pressure-test approvability while deals are still being shaped. If your company expects to in-license, out-license or raise on the strength of a regulatory story in 2027, this is the June meeting where those conversations concentrate.
Three weeks later, DIA 2027 convenes the regulatory profession itself in San Diego — and the events directory lists every 2027 option we have verified.
