About BIO International Convention 2026
BIO International Convention 2026 takes place at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, June 1–4. BIO is the world's largest biotech event, drawing over 20,000 biotech executives, pharmaceutical business development teams, investors, and researchers annually from 60+ countries.
BIO is famous for its partnering culture — tens of thousands of one-on-one meetings happen on the show floor. But the real deals often happen after hours. Pharma companies compete for KOL attention at exclusive dinners in Boston's Seaport and Back Bay. MedConParties tracks every reception, dinner, and rooftop event so you can build your week strategically.
