We will have 60 to 80 vendors exhibiting their wares. (Note that 6-foot-long skirted tables were offered to vendors on a first-come, first-served basis via a request through the Technical Vendors Association. All spaces have been reserved.)

Dates/Times: The biotech vendor portion of the 2026 Research Festival will be held on Monday, September 14 and Thursday September 17 with the possibility of having Friday, September 18; depending on demand.

Commercial Vendor Workshops: Back by Popular Demand
