The annual AusBiotech conference brings together Australian and international biotech leaders and stakeholders. For more than three decades the event has created a forum to reflect on the sector’s achievements and exchange ideas to further advance the sector’s standing both nationally and globally.

AusBiotech is dedicated to consolidating this growth, and our 2018 conference will once again present issues critical to industry. Global biotech trends, breakthroughs, challenges and success stories will feature prominently on the program. Panel discussions and key themes will cover regulation and reimbursement, research translational strategies, new markets, business development and capital access, emerging technologies, clinical trials, regenerative medicine, agriculture and commercialisation.
