We are pleased to announce that the 10th Annual Neuroscience Innovation Forum (#Sachs_NIF) will take place once again at the Marines Memorial Club, San Francisco on the 10th of January 2027, a day before the JP Morgan meeting and the Virtual Week will follow from the 19th – 21st of January. In addition, building on the success of previous events, the 3rd Annual Obesity & Cardiometabolic Innovation Forum (#Sachs_OCIF) will take place the day before on the 9th of January 2027, offering relevant attendees the opportunity to register for both events.
Positioned at the beginning of JPM week, the NIF forum focuses on the latest developments across key areas of neuroscience, which are currently attracting record investor interest and deal flow. The main programme for the 10th Annual NIF will feature more than 8 hours of high-level keynotes and panel discussions addressing the important advances in therapeutic, neurotech, and diagnostics fields.
The target audience consists of buy and sell-side analysts from investment banks and funds, alongside partnering executives from pharma, biotech, medtech, neurotech, and diagnostics companies. We anticipate around 400 delegates in-person and 30+ company presentations by established and emerging companies. This will include a limited number of live presentations taking place in dedicated presentation tracks, alongside virtual company showcases, which will be available on demand. Recorded sessions will also be added on demand on the Event Portal during the virtual week.
The In-Person meetings will be taking place on the 10th of January, while virtual meetings will take place on the 19th – 21st of January. For the virtual meetings, the system will allow you to have a secure audio/video call, as well as the option to present slides using a screen share function, and we will have a dedicated room for in-person meetings. The conference will be held in the Pacific Standard Time (PST) zone.
The physical programme will consist of the usual panels and keynotes, which will be available on demand for the virtual audience, the week after the JP Morgan meeting. Additionally, there will be pre-arranged in-person meetings, live and on-demand company showcases, and a reception. The in-person event will be followed by an additional week of virtual meetings available through the audio/video Online Meeting System, starting from the 19th of January.
