Event Information

The BLPN Community is invited to gather in New Orleans this fall for BIO on the Bayou, October 28–29 at Tulane Medicine. Home to a world-class research and clinical enterprise, Tulane stands as one of the most influential institutions driving Life Science innovation in the Southeast.

This premier event brings together the full ecosystem - investors, researchers, entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and agencies. Two days of meaningful exchange, deal-making, and discovery at the heart of a powerhouse institution. Last year, more than 100 BLPN Members joined, underscoring the event’s value as a must-attend on the life science calendar.

Beyond the boardrooms and panels, BIO on the Bayou offers the rare chance to experience the cultural energy that makes New Orleans unlike anywhere else. From live jazz and Creole cuisine to historic streets buzzing with creativity, the city itself becomes part of the conversation-fueling connections and ideas that extend well beyond the sessions.

BLPN will align with BIO on the Bayou’s official agenda for this event. There is no discount available but we believe you'll find pricing to be very reasonable. Full details are available on the conference website, and you can register directly using the button below.

In addition, BLPN will host exclusive private dinners for Members, Sponsors, and invited guests. To request an invitation or explore sponsorship opportunities, use the links provided below.

“I’m willing to help you and support your initiatives in part because I’m absolutely impressed with the caliber of ideas that all the Founders are developing.”

— Tim Mikhelashvili, CEO & Cofounder, Amedea Pharma

“What I really like about the BLPN is when we get together and discuss our challenges. We all benefit from each other’s deep experience–what is effectively free consulting. Sharing our hard-earned sweat equity and knowledge is very satisfying. And in this remote world, especially with a start up, to be able to come together with other really smart people and share our experiences together is powerful. Everyone needs that kind of community these days.”

— David Craig, CEO & Founder, Sarcomatrix

“The reason we love BLPN is the quality of the community here is outstanding. There are so many fantastic ideas and founders and we want to offer our public service to all of them and help them achieve their goals.”

— Mark November, Founder, Venture Starters
