A Few Words From Our Founder

“With the onslaught of various AI tools and the increased digitization of vendor-customer interactions in B2B life science, is there still room for face-to-face events in 2026? My answer is a resounding YES! In fact, I am more convinced than ever the pleasures of having “real life” conversations with exhibitor experts, viewing tactile scientific posters, querying presenters in front of a live audience, exchanging physical business cards, and sharing a meal with a new colleague emanates positive industry vibes that simply cannot be replicated in the digital world.  

As for the bioprocess market? Tumultuous, to say the least, but here is our take: the mega bioprocess suppliers and CDMOs are projecting high single-digit to low double-digit sales growth as they tally their 2025 revenues – with continued growth in 2026 and beyond. Liquidity is trickling back into the venture capital markets after two cold years, prioritizing quality over quantity. Unmet needs in bioprocess tools and tech still abound across all modalities. While maintaining budget discipline is incredibly important, err on the side of attending that extra event this year. You might be pleasantly surprised at what you learn or who you meet.”
