The 2026 theme is “Growing the BioHealth Capital Region of Tomorrow,” and the events will take place September 15–17 at US Pharmacopeia in Rockville, Maryland.

Registration is free to attend. We are now also accepting applications for the Crab Trap Competition, which continues to spotlight promising early-stage companies across the biohealth ecosystem.
