About the American Biomanufacturing Summit

The Generis American Biomanufacturing Summit (BIO) has a rich history as an exclusive platform for biopharma and biotech executives—and as a flagship annual event, it remains a premier biomanufacturing event built for high-level, in-person knowledge exchange and solution exploration. This two-day biomanufacturing conference brings together senior leaders across biomanufacturing, manufacturing technology, quality, compliance, and supply chain and logistics to share emerging trends, strategic insights, and best practices shaping the future of biomanufacturing.

Join 350+ biopharma and biotech leaders, including 50+ expert speakers, 250+ senior-level attendees, and hundreds of participants from solution companies. Connect with decision-makers and explore innovations spanning cell and gene therapy (CGT), advanced manufacturing technologies, quality assurance and control, regulatory compliance, operational strategy, and supply chain and logistics.

If you’re looking for a high-impact biomanufacturing / biotech event for executives, BIO is where biopharma leaders connect, learn, and lead.
