BioKansas - Kansas Bioscience Organization

2026 Is a Pivotal Year for the Midwest Life Sciences Ecosystem and AdAstra BIO is building the rooms where the right people will be making real decisions.

Our 2026 lineup brings together founders, CROs/CDMOs, manufacturers, investors, and ecosystem leaders through intentionally curated, high-impact programs:

🔹 Founder’s Forum
🔹 AdAstra Pulse Webinars
🔹 CRO Showcase & Partnering Event
🔹 Kansas Pavilion at BIO International Convention
🔹 Pitch & Putt Life Sciences Golf Scramble & Startup Pitch Competition
🔹 Midwest Bio Research & Industry Conference – Kansas (BRICK)

We’re being deliberate about who we partner with. These sponsorships aren’t about filling space; they’re about building influence, credibility, and early positioning in the Midwest’s fastest-growing life sciences and biomanufacturing ecosystem.

If your organization wants a seat at the table, and a hand in shaping what’s next, we should chat.

This is a moment to help build something, not catch up to it later.

Let’s keep the conversation going.

Join us!
As we wrap up an incredible year for Kansas and Missouri’s life sciences community, AdAstra BIO and Husch Blackwell are excited to invite you to a special End-of-Year Insight & Connection Event.

This gathering brings together leaders in biotech, biomanufacturing, animal health, and advanced production for an evening of learning, conversation, and celebration. We’ll kick off with a focused discussion on the evolving landscape of intellectual property in the life sciences. We will be covering trends in patenting, portfolio strategy, and navigating complexity in today’s innovation-driven environment.

After the program, we’ll transition into a relaxed networking reception with great company, refreshments, and time to connect with peers across the ecosystem.

We hope to celebrate with you!
