Where conversations become connections 

Australia’s Biggest Week in Biotech brings more than 2,000 people from across Australia and around the world, creating five days of opportunities to meet, exchange ideas, and build relationships. Some conversations are arranged weeks in advance through AusPartnering. Others begin over coffee, at an exhibitor booth, between sessions, or across the table at a sector dinner.  

Whether you are looking for an investor, commercial partner, customer, collaborator, adviser, or simply a fresh perspective, you will find many ways to start the right conversation with the right people across Australia’s biotech, medtech, and health tech community

DAY 3

More than a conference program

The value of attending extends well beyond the sessions. Networking is built into each day, with the BioInnovation Hall serving as the central meeting place for delegates. 

  • Pre-scheduled, one-to-one AusPartnering meetings  
  • The Gala Dinner and sector dinners  
  • Dedicated networking lounges  
  • Conversations with exhibitors  
  • Lunch, morning tea, and afternoon tea in the BioIndustry Hall  
  • Member, committee, and special-interest gatherings  
  • Breakfast sessions for invited groups  
  • Receptions and other functions across the Gold Coast  
  • Informal conversations before and after conference sessions
  • A program of satellite events


One of the people you meet during the week could become your next collaborator, customer, investor, adviser, or colleague.
