BIO Partnering™

How does partnering at the 2025 BIO CEO & Investor Conference work?

The BIO Partnering™ system makes connections on a company-to-company basis. Delegates’ accounts will be placed under a company profile along with their colleagues as they register for the conference. After filling out their company and delegate profiles and setting their calendar availability for meetings, delegates search for and send meeting requests to other companies of interest and accept incoming meeting requests as appropriate. 

Where are partnering meetings held at the 2025 BIO CEO & Investor Conference?

Partnering meetings are in-person on Monday, February 10 and Tuesday, February 11 at the New York Marriott Marquis during conference hours. We will not have virtual Partnering meetings.

When will meeting scheduling begin?/How do I schedule my meetings?

Accepted meetings will be scheduled by BIO starting in early February and scheduling will continue in rounds up through the end of the conference to accommodate as many meetings as possible. Once scheduling begins, meetings will appear on the participants’ calendars with a date, time, and specific meeting location within the event venue.

How many meeting requests can I send?

Each company profile is allowed 150 outstanding outgoing meeting requests. Once a meeting request is accepted, declined, or canceled, it no longer counts against that limit. There is no limit on the total number of requests a company can send, only a limit on how many can be outstanding at any one time. 

How long will I be able to access the BIO Partnering system once the conference ends?

The partnering system will be open for one year following the end of the event. You will be able to send follow-up messages to companies with whom you’ve met or had previous correspondence via the partnering system. You will not be able to send any new meeting requests after partnering hours end on February 11 2025.
