Tickets are now available for the 5th Annual BioDiscovery Summit — the most expansive version of this event in its history.

This year, one ticket gives you the full day.

The morning opens with the BioSpark Pitch Competition, where eight early-stage life sciences companies compete for $30,000 in prizes and Commonwealth BioAccelerator residency before a panel of investors and industry leaders. The afternoon features a keynote conversation with Caitlin Frazer of the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology, following panel discussions on capital, commercialization, and company building. The event concludes with a reception celebrating 10 years of CvilleBioHub.

Early Bird tickets are $225 through July 31. Capacity is limited to 225 attendees. When tickets are gone, they are gone.

BioSpark applications are now open. Apply here.
Applications close on August 15th, 2026.
