Sunday Space + Two Full Days of RESI JPM

16 Dec

By Sougato Das, President and COO, LSN

Sougato-Das

RESI JPM 2026 expands the opportunity to connect by adding Sunday partnering and event space, giving attendees an early start to JPM Week. With RESI JPM running Monday–Tuesday, Sunday provides a strategic window to schedule investor meetings, host receptions, or bring teams together while momentum is already building across San Francisco.

RESI JPM is the only JPM conference where 700+ investors actively providing seed to Series B funding attend, alongside in-licensors seeking preclinical through Phase 2 assets. For preclinical and clinical-stage biotech, medtech, diagnostic, digital health, and AI companies, RESI JPM remains the most efficient way to connect with aligned investors and strategic partners during JPM Week. Many companies schedule 10–20 meetings in a single day, making partnering the core of the RESI experience.

New Sunday Partnering Opportunities Added

Life Science Nation is announcing additional partnering slots on Sunday, January 11, hosted at the Marriott Marquis. These meetings take place ahead of the main conference and allow attendees to secure valuable investor conversations before calendars fill up.

The Sunday Partnering Slot sign-up form is available to RESI attendees, allowing registered participants to request meetings and plan their schedules in advance.

Start JPM Week with Purpose

This added day gives companies a head start to:

  • Schedule investor or in-licensor meetings
  • Connect with fellow RESI attendees
  • Host private meetings or team gatherings

Located in the center of the JPM ecosystem, the Marriott Marquis offers a convenient and efficient setting to begin JPM Week with focused, high-value interactions.

With Sunday now in play, RESI JPM 2026 delivers more time, more access, and more opportunities to make meaningful connections before the week reaches full pace.

Life Science Nation is pleased to announce the finalists for the Innovator’s Pitch Challenge (IPC) at RESI JPM 2026. Taking place over two full days in San Francisco, RESI JPM will once again bring together early-stage life science and healthcare innovators with a global community of investors seeking opportunities across drugs, devices, diagnostics, and digital health (4Ds). 

This year’s IPC will run as a continuous track, with finalists presenting in dedicated sessions held every hour across both days of RESI JPM 2026. These startups will showcase technologies poised to address key challenges across the 4Ds and advance the next generation of healthcare innovation. 

The IPC gives founders a rare opportunity to pitch directly to active investors, including VCs, family offices, corporate venture groups, and angel networks. Presenting companies receive actionable feedback, participate in meaningful conversations with investors, and gain visibility among the hundreds of attendees in the RESI partnering community. 

Finalists will also present their technologies in the RESI Exhibition Hall, creating additional touchpoints for networking and ongoing discussion throughout the conference. 

About the RESI Innovator’s Pitch Challenge 

The IPC remains a defining element of all RESI conferences. Each pitch session brings together a coordinated panel of investors who deliver interactive, constructive feedback designed to help founders refine their fundraising narrative. IPC participants receive conference registration with full access to partnering, exhibit space in the RESI Exhibition Hall, and the opportunity to compete for a complimentary registration to a future RESI event. 

Join Us at RESI JPM 2026 

RESI JPM 2026 will feature a two-day, in-person experience in San Francisco, offering expanded opportunities for partnering, investor panels, workshops, networking, and an IPC track running every hour across both days. Full event details, including registration and program updates, can be found at the RESI Conference website.

Why This Page Matters 

  1. Comprehensive Planning Tool: For anyone attending JPM Week — whether founders, investors, BD execs, or scientists — having a central, curated list of relevant life science events is invaluable. Rather than navigating a sea of scattered invitations, the RESI page brings together a clean, structured schedule. 
  1. Partnership Optimization: Many of the events listed are tailored for dealmaking — breakfasts, partnering forums, and pitch showcases. This makes it easier for startups to schedule and maximize high-impact interactions. 
  1. Community Spotlight: The page isn’t only about formal conferences; it also highlights social events, networking mixers, and sector-specific receptions (e.g., women in healthcare, neuroscience, medtech). This helps attendees connect on both professional and personal levels. 

The RESI “JPM Week Events” page is more than just a listing: it’s a strategic roadmap for navigating one of the busiest and most important weeks in healthcare investing. By consolidating diverse events, boardroom policy talks to rooftop cocktail receptions; it empowers life science professionals to plan smarter, connect deeper, and maximize their time. 

For anyone participating in RESI JPM 2026, bookmarking this page is one of the first steps to making the most of the week.

Showcase your brand, services, and expertise to a global life science audience 

Life Science Nation (LSN) is introducing a new opportunity at RESI JPM 2026, the Company Presentation Track, designed for service providers, established companies, and later-stage ventures seeking to elevate their brand visibility and connect with decision-makers across the global life science ecosystem. 

Taking place January 12-13, 2026, at the Marriott Marquis in San Francisco, RESI JPM will also feature three days of virtual partnering on January 14, 19–20. RESI JPM will bring together hundreds of early-stage life science and healthcare companies and over 500 global investors for two full days of partnering, investor panels, and networking. 

The new Company Presentation Track offers organizations a unique platform to deliver a 15-minute presentation highlighting their business, market positioning, and value proposition. Unlike the Innovator’s Pitch Challenge, which focuses on fundraising and investor feedback for early-stage startups, these company presentations are designed for firms looking to expand their visibility, attract new clients, and strengthen their strategic partnerships. 

Participants in this track will have the opportunity to: 

  • Present their company, products, and services to an engaged global audience. 
  • Build brand recognition among investors, partners, and industry peers. 
  • Demonstrate thought leadership and industry expertise in a highly visible format. 

This new feature adds to RESI’s robust mix of investor panels, workshops, partnering meetings, and exhibition opportunities, making it a comprehensive platform for business development and partnership-building across the life science sector. 

Make your mark at RESI JPM. Share your story, elevate your brand, and connect with investors, innovators, and service providers driving the future of healthcare innovation. 

To apply, select Company Presentation during your RESI JPM registration or contact the RESI team at RESI@lifesciencenation.com for more information.

Make the Most of JPM Week with Sunday Partnering at the Marriott Marquis 

21 Oct

By Max Braht, Director of Business Development, LSN

Max-Braht-Headshot

JPM week is coming fast, and the best opportunities go to those who plan early. If you still haven’t secured a venue or partnering space, Life Science Nation (LSN) has your solution. As the host of RESI JPM, LSN is opening Sunday partnering at the Marriott Marquis, giving attendees an extra day to meet face-to-face with fellow RESI participants or connect informally outside the partnering system before the main event begins.

Sunday partnering provides a head start on the biggest week in healthcare investment, whether you’re scheduling investor meetings, gathering your team, or hosting your own private event. The Marriott Marquis is at the center of the JPM ecosystem, making it the perfect base for receptions, showcases, and partnering tables throughout the week.

If you represent a membership organization, this is your chance to give your members valuable exposure and a convenient home base in San Francisco—without the steep prices other hotels are charging for table rentals. And for product or service providers, sponsoring or exhibiting at RESI remains the most direct and cost-effective way to meet early-stage innovators. Unlike other partnering events, RESI’s community welcomes vendor meetings, and our partnering stats show that clearly.

Life Science Nation is here to help you make the most of the biggest week of the year. Whether you’re planning a private reception, setting up a partnering table, or joining RESI as an exhibitor, our team can help you build visibility, secure meetings, and connect with the early-stage life science community that gathers at JPM each January.

Register RESI JPM by Friday, October 24 to save $600 on early bird rates!
