When is JPM Week 2026?

JPM Week 2026 will take place from 12-16 January 2026.

What is JPM Week?

The main conference, known as J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, will be held on 12-14 January 2026, but over the course of 40 years of hosting, many other symposia have sprung up in, and around, San Francisco.

These events have become known, colloquially, as JPM Week, and provide a space for biotech executives to meet many investors. Estimates put the total attendance at over 20,000, however only a small fraction of those attendees are actually invited by J.P Morgan to the Westin St. Francis, the grand, old hotel that once hosted delegations attending early meetings of the United Nations in 1945.

The 2025 conference largely focused on obesity, and J.P. Morgan has predicted peak annual sales of $200 billion by the end of the decade.

In 2026, what will be the next big thing in healthcare? Given AI’s maturation, its applications in medicine and pharmaceuticals, companies like Recursion, will likely be prominent among delegates.

The Biotech Showcase is probably the biggest and busiest event of JPM Week; you're likely to bump into most of the key leaders in the space and its hosted just round the corner at the Hilton Union Square.

For earlier-stage biotechs seeking investors, we highly recommend RESI JPM 2026. For anyone interested in regulatory science, which should be everyone in biotech, we highly recommend the CERSI Summit, hosted by the UCSF-Stanford Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation.

Last year was short on mergers and acquisitions; however, the sun shone bright, and delegates agreed that the weather, if not the investment climate, was the best they’d experienced in recent memory.
