2026 BLOC at JPM Reception
One of BLOC’s signature annual gatherings, the BLOC @ JPM Reception brings together leaders, innovators, and allies from across the life sciences and healthcare ecosystem during J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference Week. Each year, the reception serves as a space to connect, reflect, and build community around a shared commitment to advancing leadership, equity, and opportunity across biopharma.
This year’s reception marks an important moment in BLOC’s growth. During the evening, we will share our goals for 2026, introduce our new Board and Leadership members Tamar Thompson & Johanna Grossman, and hear reflections from Rami Elghandar, CEO of Arcellx, a BLOC 100 Honoree and Champion, on the impact of the BLOC 100 program and the importance of representation and leadership across our industry.
As a growing 501(c)(3), this is a members-first reception designed to prioritize and celebrate our community. A limited number of tickets will be made available to the public, with proceeds supporting BLOC’s mission and expanding our programs and impact.
