Over the past four years, the conference has grown steadily, with an increasing number of participants from Korea and U.S. Last year, over 250 attendees and over 50 companies came together from multiple disciplines in the life sciences: the healthcare industry, academia, and public research institutions, such as FDA and NIH.

The KAPAL Annual Conference aims to provide business opportunities through collaboration among professionals and companies in drug development and life science. We strive to facilitate the exchange of innovative ideas and strategies for success across the healthcare industry. This year’s conference will be more informative and synergistic for the growth of US-Korea collaboration in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology.

The 6th KAPAL Annual Conference will provide opportunities to:

  • Special FDA sessions
  • Collaborate with Korean pharmaceutical and biotech companies
  • Expand your professional network in the Korean-American life science community
  • Develop unique perspectives on the Korean healthcare industry through keynote speakers and other presentations from leading Korean biopharmaceuticals and biotechs
