BIO 2026 Dinner

As the global biotech sector gathers in San Diego for BIO 2026, MTPConnect is delighted to be partnering with the American Australian Association to present a celebratory welcome reception and dinner at The Pendry in the heart of San Diego’s historic Gas Lamp Quarter.

We invite you to join members of the AAA along with Australian BIO delegates, including senior business leaders, Government officials, scientists, venture capitalists and international partners, at this high-level networking event, scheduled before BIO 2026 officially begins.

You will hear remarks from the Hon. Steven Marshall AO, AAA President and The Hon. Jaala Pulford GAICD, MTPConnect Chair, and a fascinating keynote from Delian Asparouhov, Founders Fund Partner (a San Francisco based venture capital firm investing in companies building revolutionary technologies) and Varda Space Industries Co-Founder. Varda is a microgravity-enabled life sciences company that processes materials in orbit and returns them to Earth.

This is a ticketed event, and presenting and table sponsorships are also available.

Single tickets can be purchased. Early bird discounts apply until 21 May 2026.
