Surviving the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference [Plus Insider’s Guide]

Each January, the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference – perhaps the life science industry’s largest and most frenzied conference of the year – reliably draws thousands of investors and executives across the healthcare sector to San Francisco’s Union Square neighborhood as hundreds of companies present their latest innovations and dreams in an attempt to pique the interest of venture capitalists and potential partners. In addition to J.P. Morgan, parallel events Biotech Showcase, OneMedForum and RESI Conference ensure that there is a high density of biotech brainpower and capital in the City by the Bay.

The conference week is a mix of long days of presentations and lively evenings of cocktail parties and networking events. With more than 50 networking receptions, days of sessions, and still a volume of work to manage while away from the office, you might need some guidance on where to take your client or potential partner for a meeting, where to refuel or caffeinate, or simply where to hide from the chaos. For these reasons, we decided to let you into our world by creating this simple guide to surviving the 2016 J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference week.
