NEW FOR 2027 • CO-LOCATED EVENT

World BioSecurity Congress USA 2027

 

MARCH 9-11, 2027
WALTER E. WASHINGTON CONVENTION CENTER, WASHINGTON D.C.

 

 

Introducing World BioSecurity Congress USA

We're launching a brand new dedicated event running alongside World Vaccine Congress Washington , engineered specifically for the pioneers, strategists, and technologists defending against the world's most complex biological threats.

Active Preparedness

Biothreats don't wait for budget cycles. This event brings together the leaders turning preparedness into a fast-moving, technology-driven discipline rather than just a policy conversation.

Where Decisions Meet Action

It’s where BARDA, DoW, and DHS decision-makers meet the contractors, detection technologists, and platforms building the prototype-ready medical countermeasures they need next.

AI-Powered Biosurveillance

AI is redefining defense. From genomic surveillance and wastewater monitoring to machine learning models, discover the tools built to catch threats before they become full emergencies.

Who Attends

Engineered for decision-makers and deal-makers across the global biodefense spectrum:

  • Procurement & Program Leads from BARDA, ASPR, DoD, and DHS.
  • Medical Countermeasure Researchers from NIH, NIAID, and DoD's chem-bio research enterprise.
  • Public Health Officials leading genomic surveillance and outbreak forecasting teams.
  • Lab Biosafety & Biosecurity Officers representing BSL-3/4 facilities.
  • One Health Specialists bridging human, animal, and environmental interfaces.

Who Sponsors

Sponsors are the market leaders providing mission-critical technologies:

  • Countermeasure Developers building vaccines, antivirals, and antitoxins.
  • Biodefense Contractors turning government funding into active, secure readiness.
  • Threat Detection & Diagnostics companies capturing biological footprints early.
  • Lab Biosafety Providers delivering high-containment workflow protections.
  • Biosurveillance Platforms hosting advanced warning models and analytical AI.
