​Overview

​The night Maryland life sciences shows up in one room.

​This year BioBuzz's BioCatalyst connected the people building Maryland's life sciences ecosystem — employers, students, founders, funders, speakers, and the community around them. On December 3, all of them are in the same room at the same time.

​This is the capstone. Not a conference. Not a happy hour. A celebration of what the ecosystem built in its first year — and the first look at where it goes in 2027.

​350+ people. Every layer of the ecosystem. The employer you want to work for, the student you want to hire, the partner you've been meaning to meet — all here, all night.

​Come see the ecosystem recognize itself. Then help shape what it becomes next.
