Why now?

Significant breakthroughs in CNS biology, coupled with innovative neuroscience technologies and a more supportive regulatory landscape, have fueled increased investment and pharmaceutical interest in the CNS, making it a top three area for drug approvals in the last decade.

With AbbVie, BMS, and Lundbeck making major acquisitions in the last 12 months alone, this wave of deal-making is redemption for biotech who kept the lights on and are building with greater strength than before.

With no dominant target, modality, or disease leading the way, partnerships across technologies or best-in-class assets are an opportunity for all.

Unite with 40%+ C-level and 94% Director or above* decision makers in a hyper-aligned critical mass; as the Neuroscience Innovation Pharma Partnering Summit brings on-scope and in-strategy companies together.

"This event was more focused than BIO.  Plenty of opportunities to bump into people and many of the pharma companies made themselves available. We felt that we got much more traction at this event than at BIO"
