Gala dinner

Join more than 700 Australian and international delegates for the social highlight of Australia’s Biggest Week in Biotech. 

Held at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre, the Gala Dinner is an evening designed for connection. With a relaxed format and plenty of time for conversation, the evening offers opportunities to reconnect with colleagues, strengthen client relationships, and meet new collaborators across biotechnology, medical technology, health technology, pharmaceuticals, research, investment, and government. 

As international delegations gather in Australia for the week, the Gala Dinner offers a unique opportunity to build valuable relationships with local and global leaders in one room. 

In 2026, the evening will also celebrate 40 years of Australia’s modern biotechnology industry, recognising the people, organisations and partnerships that continue to drive the sector forward.
