BioHealth Capital Region Week will return on September 15 through 17, 2026, at US Pharmacopeia in Rockville, Maryland, bringing together leaders from industry, academia, government, and investment for three days focused on the future of one of the nation’s leading biohealth ecosystems. The event will again feature the BioHealth Capital Region Forum, the Crab Trap Competition, and the Investment Conference.
This year’s Forum theme, “Growing the BioHealth Capital Region of Tomorrow,” reflects both the region’s momentum and the need for continued collaboration at a time when many organizations are navigating a more uncertain funding environment. As public funding conditions shift, the region’s long-term strength will depend on its ability to deepen partnerships, support commercialization, attract investment, and build new pathways for growth. The Forum will serve as a place for those conversations to happen.
Registration for all BioHealth Capital Region Week events will be opening soon. Attendees can expect a strong lineup of programming, networking, and opportunities to connect with the people and organizations shaping the future of biohealth across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
Sponsorship opportunities are also available for organizations that want to be part of the week’s visibility and engagement. Available options include Lead Headliner Sponsorship, which offers top-level recognition throughout the week and the VIP Leadership Dinner, Standard Sponsorship, which includes logo recognition and VIP dinner access, End-of-Day Reception Sponsorship, which adds event-specific recognition during a featured networking reception, VIP Leadership Dinner Sponsorship, which provides recognition for that evening’s key opinion leader gathering and an opportunity to address attendees, and Display Table Sponsorship, which offers an on-site presence in a limited table area positioned near the main flow of activity. Sponsorship support helps make the week’s programming and convening possible.
