BIO Partnering @ JPM Week 2027Exhibitor guide: booth costs, dates and deadlines in San Francisco

BIO Partnering @ JPM Week has no exhibit hall and sells no booths. BIO provides assigned meeting tables in an open floorplan at the San Francisco Marriott Marquis for meetings scheduled in its system, and companies that want a branded presence book their own suite or meeting room, which we design and install.

BIO's partnering pass is $650 for BIO-member biotech and life science companies and $1,300 for non-members; service providers pay $2,000 as members and $2,700 otherwise. Qualified investors register free after review. A branded suite kit from Purple starts around our 10×20 rental range of $7,500 to $15,000, plus the hotel room you book.

Participants choose when they schedule: BIO's in-person tables at the San Francisco Marriott Marquis, their own in-person location, a BIO-provided Zoom link or their own virtual link, or a hybrid of in-person and virtual. BIO's tables are free and first come, first served.

BIO states that BIO Partnering™ and BIO are not affiliated with J.P. Morgan, the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference or any other conference that week. The system is open to qualified companies and investors whether or not they attend the J.P. Morgan event.

Qualified professionals from biotech or pharma R&D, government and economic development, medical devices and technology, digital therapeutics, academic tech transfer, diagnostics, investors, hospitals and patient advocacy. BIO reviews every application, and your corporate email must match the company you register under.

We can. We design a freestanding backdrop, table graphics and a screen stand that install without touching hotel walls, coordinate delivery with the hotel's event team, and set everything up the day before partnering opens on January 11, 2027. After the week the kit goes into storage for your next show.

BIO holds no official room block or housing for this event and says any message offering housing on its behalf should be treated as a scam. You book your own hotel; if you plan a branded suite, tell us the hotel early so we can plan the delivery with its event team.

That is how we design it. The same frames and graphics can become part of your booth at the BIO International Convention in Philadelphia in June 2027 or your space at Biotech Showcase the same week, and the kit stays in our warehouse between events.

In-person partnering runs January 11–14, 2027 at the San Francisco Marriott Marquis: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on January 11, 12 and 13, and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on January 14. On Friday, January 15, the system remains open for virtual meetings or meetings in your own space until 11:59 p.m. Pacific.

BIO's event site reports 7,577 partnering meetings, 2,571 registrants and more than 1,600 partnering companies from over 40 countries, without naming the year of that count. Each company may keep 150 outgoing meeting requests open at once, so a busy team can run meetings back to back across the four days.

The Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO), the biotech trade association that also runs the BIO International Convention and the BIO Investment & Growth Summit. BIO offers the partnering system as a service to the industry during JPM Week.

BIO gives no refunds once 48 hours have passed after payment. A registration can be transferred to another person from your company, but only once, and every attendee must be 21 or older to receive a badge unless BIO grants a waiver.

For biotechs raising money or out-licensing, and for service providers chasing those biotechs, it is the cheapest way to fill JPM Week with scheduled meetings: a member biotech pass is $650. The value comes from requests sent early and a quiet place to hold the meetings, which is where a branded suite helps.

BIO Partnering @ JPM Week is a meeting-scheduling service with tables at the Marriott Marquis and no exhibits. Biotech Showcase, co-produced the same week by Demy-Colton and Informa at the Hilton Union Square, adds company presentations and sells exhibition spaces within its sponsorships. Many companies use both, and we design one kit that serves a suite and a Showcase space.
