Avogadro's Walk — Boston's BIO 2026 Send-Off

​Boston's life science community is heading to BIO 2026 — and before we go, we're walking.

Join VITAL for an Avogadro-themed evening walk along the Charles River: 6.02 kilometers, starting at precisely 6:02 PM, in honor of Avogadro's constant (N_A = 6.02 × 10²³). Because every great collaboration starts with the right number of connections.

​This walk is a chance to meet founders, investors, mentors, and researchers from across Boston's biotech ecosystem, all heading to the world's largest biotech convention at the end of June. Walk, talk, and arrive in San Diego already knowing your people.

​Along the way, connect with VITAL's team to learn about our therapeutics programs advancing health security, and exchange notes on how to make the most of BIO 2026.
