The 5th Annual Impact Reception

The Impact Reception is the most “Philadelphia” fundraiser we do: elevated, welcoming, and built for connection. You’ll feel the full spectrum of the ecosystem in one room, from bench scientists and emerging leaders to founders, investors, executives, and the service partners powering the region. This year, we’re scaling the room. We welcomed 300+ last year. In 2026, we’re expecting 500 guests and inviting companies to bring teams, clients, and colleagues for a night that feels like the city at its best, with a mission that’s impossible to ignore.

What to Expect:

• A room worth showing up for: life sciences leaders, builders, and champions across biotech, pharma, healthtech, academia, and the partner community.
• An elevated, social pace: designed for conversation and connection, not a program that traps you in your seat.
• An elevated, social pace: the kind of setting that turns networking into actual relationships.
• An elevated, social pace: stories and impact you can feel, plus clear ways to take action through partnership, volunteering, and giving
