The Audience column on this page says who is in the room at each conference, and the Audience mix filter narrows the list to mostly-industry, mostly-academic, mostly-clinical or mixed meetings.
What is a Tnuki conference guide?
A who’s-going list for one conference, built from the meeting’s public program and exhibitor directory: every organization presenting or exhibiting, with its research groups, presentation titles, booth numbers and the signals around it. Person names are withheld; the organizations, sessions and booths are public information.
How do I get a who’s-going guide for a conference on this list?
Enter your email under Get notified on that conference’s row. Tnuki builds guides where there is enough interest and emails you when one is published.
How do I find conferences in a specific city or region?
Use the Location filter (US West, US Central & South, US East, Canada, Europe or Asia), or type a city, state or country in the search box. The other filters narrow the list by price, size, audience mix, scientific focus and whether Tnuki has a guide; the globe shows where the conferences are.
Which life sciences conferences have the most exhibitors?
By exhibitor count: MEDICA (about 4,800 exhibitors, medical technology), BIO International (1,600+), ADLM (about 800, clinical lab and diagnostics), AACR (about 600), ASCO (450+), SLAS (about 400), ASH (about 285) and SOT (about 275). The Audience column on this page names the recurring exhibitors at each meeting.
What is the largest biotech conference?
