The BIO Patient Advocacy Pavilion is a dynamic space centrally located in the BIO Exhibition that provides a forum for BIO attendees to meet with and explore potential collaborations between the biopharmaceutical industry and the nonprofit disease community to expedite the development of new and novel treatments. The Pavilion was created to provide patient advocacy organizations, venture philanthropies, and the biotechnology industry with unique partnering and networking opportunities to advance their shared goal of developing innovative medicines to fight and cure disease and improve the lives of patients.
Connect with venture philanthropy and patient advocacy organizations for unique partnership opportunities to advance your research and drug development agendas.

Exclusive Interview with the National Alliance for Caregiving
"The BIO Patient Advocacy Pavilion gave us a chance to meet
people face-to-face and connect in a way that phone and email doesn't allow.
Meeting real people and doing awesome work together in person is an invaluable
experience."
