You can self-schedule meetings between 16-19 November 2026, with the flexibility to use your own in-person meeting space or virtual links, or BIO's meeting space at the One Aldwych hotel (subject to availability) or virtual links through a BIO provided Zoom. 

As a service to the industry, BIO is bringing the premier meeting scheduling system, BIO Partnering™, to London Life Sciences Week, effectively bringing biotech companies and investors together in one easy-to-use platform.

The system is open to any qualified company and investor that registers, regardless of whether you are attending the Jefferies Global Healthcare Conference or any other concurrent event during London Life Sciences Week.  

Please note BIO and the BIO Partnering system are not affiliated with the Jefferies Global Healthcare Conference. 

No. BIO and the BIO Partnering™ system are not affiliated with the Jefferies Global Healthcare Conference.

You do not need to register for the Jefferies conference, or for any other event, to take part in BIO Partnering™. Registering for BIO Partnering™ does not give you access to the Jefferies conference. For questions about that conference, please contact Jefferies directly.

No. Registration for BIO Partnering™ @ London Life Sciences Week has no deadline. We do recommend registering early: your BIO Partnering™ login arrives within one to two business days of registering, and the sooner you are in the system, the more time you have to search for companies and investors, send meeting requests and fill your calendar before the week begins.

The BIO Partnering™ system makes connections on a company-to-company basis. Individual delegates’ accounts will be placed under a company profile along with their colleagues as they register. After selecting their attendance type and filling out their profiles and their calendar availability, delegates send meeting requests to other companies and investors of interest and accept incoming meeting requests as appropriate.  Delegates then schedule their accepted meetings for mutually available times and specify locations. Some features available in the BIO Partnering system that make meeting management a breeze, include:   

• Self-schedule your meetings with great flexibility. Use BIO meeting space, virtual links or your own in-person or virtual locations.  

• Batch accept and decline incoming meeting requests to save time  

• Set saved search criteria and receive daily/weekly updates on new matches straight to your inbox  

• Native mobile app with push notifications for your upcoming meetings  

• Expanded partnering objectives to better classify your goals and search for partners based on their goals  

• Export shared contact information  

BIO Partnering™ makes it easy to turn a busy week in London into scheduled, productive meetings:

• Timed to when investors are in London. The program runs during London Life Sciences Week, when biotech investors and business development teams are already in the city for the Jefferies Global Healthcare Conference.
• Free meeting space in central London. Assigned tables at Downstairs at One Aldwych are reserved for meetings scheduled through the system, Monday to Thursday, 08:00–16:00, at no additional charge.
• A system you can trust. It is the same BIO Partnering™ system that powers thousands of meetings at the BIO International Convention and during JPM Week.
• More than 100 participating investors, with qualified investors attending free of charge.
• Flexible meeting options. Meet at BIO’s tables, at your own venue, on a BIO-provided Zoom link or on your own virtual platform.
• Up to 150 outstanding meeting requests per company profile, with search, saved searches, batch accept/decline, a mobile app and contact export.
• No other event registration required. BIO Partnering™ @ London Life Sciences Week is a standalone registration.

BIO Partnering™ is a purpose-built platform for sourcing and scheduling your business development meetings during London Life Sciences Week, with meeting space Monday through Thursday right in the middle of the action at One Aldwych.

BIO Partnering™ is same trusted system behind thousands of connections at BIO International Convention and JPM Week. This isn't typical free conference networking. Every registration is reviewed by BIO, with investors held to published qualification criteria, so the companies and funds you're searching are there to transact, not to browse. See the investors already registered.

Plus, your profile remembers your contacts and partnering history, carrying them forward so your profile doesn't reset with each new BIO Partnering™ you attend.

More than 100 investors are registered, including OrbiMed, Flagship Pioneering, RTW Investments, Sofinnova Partners, SV Health Investors, Lilly Asia Ventures, Novo Seed, Lundbeckfonden BioCapital, Kurma Partners and Cambridge Innovation Capital. They range from venture capital firms and corporate venture arms to public market investors and patient-focused funds. New investors join regularly as the event approaches. See the full list of participating investors and all participating companies.

Each company profile is allowed 150 outstanding outgoing meeting requests. Once an outgoing meeting request is accepted, declined or canceled, it no longer counts against that limit, and you can send an additional meeting request.  

Once a meeting request has been accepted, participants from either company can schedule the meeting by clicking the “Schedule” button on the meeting request from the Meetings page. Delegates can see the attendance types (In-person or virtual) of the meeting participants to help them choose either an in-person meeting location or a virtual meeting link, or both.   

BIO has space at One Aldwych every day from 16-19 November for meetings scheduled using the BIO Partnering™ system (on a first-come, first-served basis). 

The meeting location, whether in-person, virtual or a hybrid meeting, is determined by the meeting participants when they schedule their meetings. Delegates can select from four meeting location options: 

1. BIO in-person meeting tables at the One Aldwych hotel 
2. Their own in-person meeting location 
3. A BIO provided virtual link 
4. Their own virtual meeting link or use a combination of in person and virtual for a hybrid meeting.
