PEGS Boston 2027 booths for the Seaport hotel hall, built for antibody engineers
We build PEGS Boston booths that show an antibody engineer your expression yields, developability data or discovery platform in one look, sized for a hotel exhibit hall. At the Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport we plan freight around hotel service routes and file every order through CHI's Sponsor & Exhibitor Portal.
- May 10–14 · Omni Seaport
- 120+ exhibitors
- Nine program streams
What makes PEGS Boston different, and how we build for it
PEGS Boston is where biologics discovery teams compare notes.Cambridge Healthtech Institute splits the week into nine streams, Engineering, Oncology, Multispecifics, Immunotherapy, Expression, Analytical, Immunogenicity, Emerging Therapeutics and Machine Learning, with tracks such as Display and Discovery of Biologics, Emerging T Cell Engagers and Difficult-to-Express Proteins. The Interactive Exhibit Hall holds 120+ exhibitors alongside 350+ posters, and the Exhibit Hall & Keynote Pass brings in visitors who skip the sessions. Two exhibitor programs matter: the Best of Show Awards, with an attendee-voted People's Choice prize, and the Innovation Showcase, a five-minute main-agenda slot for young pre-commercial companies.
Display, discovery and design results they can judge: hit rates, affinity data, developability profiles and timelines from target to lead.
Yields for difficult-to-express proteins, purity and characterization data, and a clear view of how your instrument or service fits their workflow.
A partner they can trust with a program: capacity, IP terms, project management and a meeting slot to talk scope after the session.
Your team in Boston
From our two shops to the PEGS Boston floor
Our Fishkill, NY production shop and our Las Vegas hub build the booth, we ship it to the Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport, and our own project manager runs the PEGS Boston install on the floor with vetted local labor. A predictable 30–45-day turnaround, secure storage and a pre-show QA before PEGS Boston.
When your team gets to Boston, the booth is lit and stocked. You just show up.
Inside PEGS Boston 2027
PEGS Boston rules that shape your booth
The five-minute Innovation Showcase slot is only for pre-commercial companies offering tools and solutions to pharma and biotech, founded in 2020 or later and raising a late seed or Series A. We design a small booth that matches the talk when you qualify.
Exhibitors enter products through CHI's online form, selection does not depend on sponsorship level, and the People's Choice winner is picked by attendee ballots during PEGS. We print counter cards so voters can find your product.
Printed PEGS posters must be portrait and no larger than 3 feet wide by 4 feet high, and presenters also upload a one-page PDF; full submissions are due March 26, 2027. We print posters to match your booth graphics.
CHI uses no third-party hotel booking services and warns about housing scams; rooms at the Omni block are booked through the official link until April 9, 2027. We plan setup crews around those rooms.
Programs worth planning for
A five-minute main-agenda presentation for pre-commercial companies founded in 2020 or later and raising late seed or Series A, offered as an alternative to a 15- or 30-minute vendor talk.
Exhibitors submit products online; the People's Choice prize goes to the product attendees pick on site.
Every poster presenter is entered automatically and judged on clarity, novelty of the data and technical advances; submissions with paid registration are due March 26, 2027.
PEGS Boston is the biologics discovery summit, 120+ exhibitors in a Seaport hotel; pick it ahead of the Festival of Biologics if you sell antibody discovery, protein expression or analytics to engineers rather than to clinical and manufacturing teams.

02 Booths & pricing for PEGS Boston 2027
Popular booth sizes at PEGS Boston
PEGS Boston runs as a hotel exhibit hall, and CHI sells space as sponsor and exhibit packages listed in its prospectus, so booths are compact rather than convention-center islands. Discovery CROs and reagent firms here use a single exhibit space; we recommend a tight backwall-and-counter build that also extends to a 10×20 for larger shows.

The footprint our PEGS kit grows into for BioProcess International or Bio-IT World: a discovery-platform wall, a data screen and a counter for sample panels.
Above: Optinova, a Purple inline booth
See 10×20 rental booths →
Room for three stations at larger biologics shows: discovery, expression and analytics, each with its own data graphic and a staffer.
See 10×30 rental booths →
An island at convention-center meetings such as ASGCT, with a benchtop instrument demo and a meeting table; PEGS itself does not sell this size.
Pictured: Pixee, a Purple island exhibit
See 20×20 rental booths →
A flagship for full-service biologics CROs at the largest meetings, with a closed room for program talks; at PEGS that role goes to a CHI dinner or luncheon.

Case study · Pixee Medical
Pixee Medical at a medical technology congress
Demo-first and focused: every visitor could try the augmented-reality surgical guidance while traffic kept moving through the booth.
Pixee Medical's booth let visitors try the technology in seconds; at PEGS, an antibody engineer gives a hotel-hall booth about that long to prove its data.
Read the Pixee Medical case study All case studies →“We were very happy with the experience and with the support provided throughout the project. The booth looked great, the coordination process was smooth, and everything was handled professionally, which made the event much easier for our team.”

Four things we get right for PEGS Boston exhibitors
1Lead with one stream
PEGS visitors arrive from a stream, Multispecifics, Expression or Immunogenicity, and look for the booth that serves it. We put that stream's problem in the backwall headline, such as difficult-to-express proteins or bispecific developability, with your data beneath it.
2Hotel hall, hotel freight
The Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport has 100,000 square feet of function space but hotel service corridors, not convention docks. We keep crates small, pack a backwall a two-person team sets quickly, and ship to the address in CHI's exhibit services pages.
3Built for the reception rush
In 2026 the PEGS hall opened with a Monday evening welcome reception and poster viewing, then ran through Thursday. We keep the counter front open, plan a second staffer for that first evening and stock handouts for the poster crowd.
4Make the Best of Show vote easy
Ballots for the People's Choice Award open to attendees when PEGS starts. When you enter a product, we print its name and your booth number on a counter card and a floor graphic so voters can find it again.

Concept rendering
A rendering like this comes with every proposal
The 3D view shows layout, graphics, lighting and product positions before we cut a panel, and we revise it until the PEGS Boston booth is right. This one is a Purple concept for Olon.

Where you could be at PEGS Boston 2027
PEGS Boston runs inside a Seaport hotel, not a convention hall. CHI has not named the room for the 2027 exhibits, so this is what the Omni offers and what it means for your booth.
The Omni's main ballroom
The Omni describes it as the largest hotel ballroom in Boston, within roughly 100,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor function space.
Our advice A ballroom exhibit hall has lower ceilings than a convention floor, so we skip hanging signs and put the brand on a lit backwall headline.
Meeting levels and prefunction space
Breakout rooms and prefunction areas serve PEGS sessions, luncheons and the poster sessions across five days.
Our advice Traffic moves between session rooms and the hall at breaks, so we face your headline toward the hall entrance used between sessions.
Link to the convention center
The Omni sits on Summer Street across from the Thomas M. Menino Convention & Exhibition Center, with its 2.1 million square feet of meeting and exhibit space.
Our advice Hotel freight is not the BCEC's dock system, so we label cases for the Omni's receiving area and book that window separately.
05 Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport · Boston
Logistics for PEGS Boston 2027, handled
PEGS Boston fills the Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport, a 1,054-room hotel at 450 Summer Street with about 100,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor function space and the largest hotel ballroom in Boston, across from the Thomas M. Menino Convention & Exhibition Center. Hotel freight moves through service routes, so we book delivery windows and pack the booth in cases one person can roll. CHI posts exhibit services, shipping and the schedule on its exhibit services page and in the Sponsor & Exhibitor Portal, where we file electrical and material handling orders. Our project manager handles setup and teardown on site.

PEGS Boston exhibitor questions
Questions exhibitors ask us before PEGS Boston
How much does a booth at PEGS Boston 2027 cost?
CHI quotes PEGS exhibit and sponsor packages directly, so the space comes from them. Our part is a compact hotel-hall kit, priced well below a 10×20 rental at $7,500 to $15,000, and a custom kit that grows into a 10×20 later runs $15,000 to $45,000. Graphics, a monitor and hotel freight move the number.
What are the PEGS Boston 2027 deadlines?
Poster submissions with paid registration are due March 26, 2027, and the Omni room block closes April 9, 2027. CHI posts the exhibit schedule and service deadlines on its exhibit services page, which shows them as coming soon for 2027. We ask for design approval in late February so production finishes in time.
Can we rent a booth for PEGS Boston?
Our PEGS rental is a printed fabric backwall, a lockable counter, a monitor mount and LED lighting sized for a hotel exhibit space, with freight to the Omni, setup and teardown on one fixed price. It packs into rolling cases for the hotel's service routes and comes back to our warehouse afterwards.
How does freight work at the Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport?
Hotel freight moves through service corridors and loading areas rather than open convention-center docks, so timing matters. We follow the shipping instructions CHI posts for exhibitors, book the delivery and return windows and keep each case small enough to roll through back-of-house routes.
What is the PEGS Innovation Showcase?
A five-minute presentation in the main agenda for emerging companies offering tools and solutions to pharma and biotech: pre-commercial, founded in 2020 or later and raising a late seed or Series A round. CHI offers it instead of a 15- or 30-minute vendor presentation.
Can we reuse our PEGS booth at other shows?
That is how we build it. The PEGS backwall and counter fit CHI's Drug Discovery Chemistry in San Diego, and the same frames extend to a 10×20 for BioProcess International in Boston or ASGCT in Philadelphia. We store the kit between meetings and swap graphics per audience.
Can people visit the PEGS exhibit hall without full registration?
Visitors can buy CHI's Exhibit Hall & Keynote Pass instead of full registration. That brings in bench scientists who do not attend sessions, so we give your booth a headline readable by someone who has not heard your talk.
Do you handle CHI's exhibitor portal and service orders?
We do. CHI runs exhibitor deliverables through its Sponsor & Exhibitor Portal, and we file electrical, shipping and material handling forms there, copy you on each confirmation and keep the booth plan matched to the floor plan CHI publishes.
When is PEGS Boston 2027?
May 10–14, 2027, in person in Boston with a virtual option. Hall times for the 2027 edition are not confirmed yet; in 2026 the floor opened with a Monday evening welcome reception and poster viewing and closed on the Thursday afternoon, and we staff to that pattern until CHI posts new hours.
Where is PEGS Boston 2027 held?
At the Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport, 450 Summer Street, Boston. The conference rate is $371 a night in the Artist Tower and $401 in the Patron Tower, with free Wi-Fi, booked through CHI's official link; CHI uses no third-party housing services.
How many people attend PEGS Boston?
The PEGS Boston site reports 2,200-plus participants, 350-plus speakers, 120-plus exhibitors and 350-plus posters across 20 conference tracks, figures CHI also used to promote the 2026 summit. Attendance for 2027 itself is not confirmed yet.
How do I get a booth at PEGS Boston?
Through Cambridge Healthtech Institute's business development team: CHI splits companies alphabetically between two sales contacts on the sponsorship page and sends the sponsor and exhibitor prospectus on request. The 2027 floor plan shows which spaces are already taken.
What are the PEGS Boston exhibit hall hours?
CHI has not posted 2027 hall hours, so they are not confirmed yet. For 2026 it opened the hall Monday from 5:55 to 7:15 p.m. for the welcome reception and poster viewing, Tuesday 10:30 a.m. to 4:40 p.m., Wednesday 9:15 a.m. to 7:20 p.m. and Thursday 10:30 a.m. to 2:05 p.m.
Is PEGS Boston worth exhibiting at?
For antibody discovery CROs, expression and analytics vendors and protein-engineering software firms it is the core U.S. meeting of their buyers, with 120-plus exhibitors and 350-plus posters. The hall is a hotel ballroom, so a compact, clear booth placed near the poster traffic does more than a large build.
Before you sign for PEGS Boston
Ask any PEGS Boston exhibit builder these five questions:
- Are all fees on paper, including what the contractor at the Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport bills?
- Who actually builds it for PEGS Boston: your shop or a subcontractor?
- Does your project manager stay on the floor through install and dismantle in Boston?
- What is inside the rental price, and what is billed by the show?
- Once PEGS Boston closes, where does the booth go and what does storage cost?
Common situations
Already own a booth? Your existing booth gets refreshed graphics and repairs, then we ship it to Boston, install it and store it between shows. You keep the structure you paid for and bring it to PEGS Boston.
Exhibiting from outside the US? We handle the ground work for PEGS Boston: freight to the advance warehouse, show-service orders, installation and storage, with one project manager replying to your emails in your time zone.
Short on time? In two to three weeks, a rental with your graphics can be ready for Boston. We tell you on the first call what is realistic before PEGS Boston.
