How founders get in

For the 2026 edition, J.P. Morgan described the event as a healthcare investment symposium connecting global industry leaders, emerging fast-growth companies, innovative technology creators and the investment community. Its published agenda comprised company presentations, keynotes and panels, with public, private/APAC and not-for-profit sessions.

  1. J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference (2026 and 2027): attendance is invitation-only, invitations are not transferable, and the official page directs interested people to contact their J.P. Morgan representative. It publishes no open startup application or public ticket-purchase route.
  2. If invited, use the presenter/attendee portal for conference access. The 2026 portal was restricted to presenters and attendees and described a corporate-email login and registration process.
  3. For a separately organized JPM Week option, pre-register for BIO Partnering @ JPM Week under the life-science-company category. BIO reviews applications; its listed 2027 rates are $650 for BIO members and $1,300 for non-members.
  4. After BIO registration, create a company profile, set availability and request, accept and schedule meetings with companies and investors. BIO provides meeting tables at the San Francisco Marriott Marquis subject to availability; this is a BIO service, not a J.P. Morgan program. The organizer also lists separate Fierce JPM Week and HealthTech Week events.
Startup programmeNo J.P. Morgan startup pass or startup-specific application is published; access is by invitation. A separate access option is BIO Partnering @ JPM Week: pre-register under the life-science-company category, complete BIO’s review and registration, then pay the applicable rate. source
Startup priceNo J.P. Morgan startup-pass price is published. Separate BIO Partnering rates for a biotech/biopharma/life-science organization: $650 (BIO member) or $1,300 (non-member) (2027). source
IncludesSeparate BIO registration includes access to BIO Partnering™ profiles, search and self-scheduling, plus BIO meeting space for meetings booked through the system, subject to availability. It is not a J.P. Morgan pass.
EligibilityFor the J.P. Morgan conference, the published criterion is invitation-only access; no startup-specific funding-stage or founding-date rule is published. BIO Partnering accepts applications from qualified biotechnology or pharmaceutical R&D, medical-device or technology, digital-therapeutics, diagnostic, academic/tech-transfer, hospital/public-institute, patient-advocacy and other listed organization categories; BIO reviews applications.
Founder discountsNo J.P. Morgan founder discount is published. BIO’s separate 2027 Partnering rates distinguish BIO members from non-members ($650 versus $1,300 for a biotech/biopharma/life-science organization); this is a membership rate, not a founder-specific discount. A separate HealthTech Week passport was listed as free and advertised opportunities and discounts (2026).
Scholarships / free passesNo J.P. Morgan founder scholarship or free-pass programme is published in the official conference materials reviewed. A separate HealthTech Week passport was listed as free (2026); BIO Partnering separately waives fees for qualifying investors, not founders (2026 and 2027).
StudentsNo J.P. Morgan student-pass category or student price is published on the official conference page or public 2026 agenda reviewed.
ExhibitingNo J.P. Morgan booth, stand or exhibitor price is published in the official conference page or public 2026 agenda reviewed. The published main-conference agenda is organized around company presentations and sessions, not a priced public exhibitor package.
SponsoringNo J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference sponsorship tiers or prices are published on its official conference page or public 2026 agenda reviewed. Separate BIO Partnering and Fierce JPM Week pages invite sponsorship inquiries or prospectus requests, but the reviewed pages do not publish a full priced tier schedule.
