Midwest Biotech Day and CRO Showcase

June 9, 2026 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM (CDT)

Description

June 9, 2026 | Virtual

The AdAstra BIO CRO Showcase Series is a curated virtual forum designed to help biotech companies efficiently discover and evaluate CRO/CDMO partners.

As development timelines lengthen and costs continue to rise—particularly on the coasts—biotech teams are increasingly seeking partners who can deliver high-quality work with greater efficiency, responsiveness, and accessibility. This event brings together a select group of CROs and service providers to showcase their capabilities, areas of expertise, and ideal program fit.

Through a series of focused presentations, attendees will gain direct insight into multiple CROs in a single, streamlined session—reducing the time typically required to source and evaluate partners.

Following the event, AdAstra BIO will facilitate introductions for companies interested in connecting with specific CROs, ensuring that meaningful conversations can continue beyond the showcase.


Who Should Attend

  • Biotech companies in preclinical, IND-enabling, or early clinical stages
  • Teams actively evaluating CRO/CDMO partners
  • Companies looking to optimize timelines, cost, and execution

What to Expect

  • Short, focused CRO presentations (15–20 minutes each)
  • Clear insight into capabilities, strengths, and program fit

Why Attend

  • Discover high-quality CRO partners—many with underutilized capacity
  • Reduce time spent sourcing and vetting vendors
  • Identify right-fit partners faster
  • Extend runway through more efficient development strategies
