Satellite events

Satellite events are official events delivered by industry partners as part of Australia’s Biggest Week in Biotech. 

Australia’s Biggest Week in Biotech extends beyond the conference, with a diverse program of official satellite events delivered by industry partners all across the Gold Coast and even into Brisbane. 

From networking events and industry breakfasts to specialist conferences, workshops and forums, satellite events provide additional opportunities to connect, learn and collaborate with Australia’s and the world’s life sciences community. 

With events taking place before, during and after the main conference, delegates can tailor their experience and make the most of their visit to Australia’s Biggest Week in Biotech. Register for the AusMedtech Conference and AusBiotech International Conference to start planning your week. 

Expressions of interest for this year’s Satellite Events closed in May. Expressions of interest will open in November for Australia’s Biggest Week in Biotech 2027, to be held in Brisbane August 23-27
