BioCatalyst LIVE! is the capstone gathering of BioCatalyst, a BioBuzz program supported by TEDCO and Maryland's innovation partners. It takes place on December 3 at 4MLK in Baltimore and is hosted by BioBuzz Networks, with more than 350 people expected.
What to expect
The organizers describe the event as a celebration of Maryland's life sciences ecosystem, looking back on the program's first year and ahead to where it goes in 2027. They note that it is neither a conference nor a happy hour. The listing says the agenda will be announced separately, and no speakers have been named on the event page.
Who should attend
The event is aimed at people working in or around Maryland life sciences, including founders, researchers, investors and service providers. For a founder new to the DMV, it is a chance to see who is active in the BioHealth Capital Region in one room.
Sponsors and partners
The TEDCO Equitech Growth Fund is listed as funding partner. Listed sponsors include Agilent, Bio-Trac, Conner Strong and Buckelew, CRB, Fulton Bank, Heffron Company, HJF, Kymanox, Pharmaron, TEDCO, Workforce Genetics and Xcellon Biologics.
Venue and access
The venue is 4MLK, 4 N Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Baltimore, MD 21201. It is an eight story lab and office building in the University of Maryland BioPark. No parking or transit details are listed.
