The After Party

BreakthroughLive is a high-energy showcase of “breakthrough” artists who stand in support of breakthrough innovations in the fight against cancer. Designed for attendees of BIO 2026 in San Diego, the event will feature our Breakthrough Artists Initiative performers as the opening act for BIO’s Monday night “Give Back” concert at Waterfront Park. Through music, we are raising awareness and critical support for early-stage biotech companies working to overcome the “Valley of Death” and bring life-saving treatments to patients. Join us afterward for an exclusive After Party! An evening of networking, food & beverages, and a red carpet meet-and-greet with our breakthrough artists. This special gathering brings together innovators, supporters, and performers in a unique setting where culture meets science, and meaningful connections help move breakthroughs forward.
