We are delighted to invite you to the first European meeting of the Society of Biomolecular Imaging and Informatics (SBI2),
held in Cambridge, UK on July 7th – 8th, 2026
SBI2 is an international community of leaders, scientists, and students promoting technological advancement, discovery, and education to quantitatively interrogate biological models to provide high context information at the cellular level. The goal of this inaugural European meeting is to strengthen the local presence of the Society and consolidate the European biomolecular imaging and informatics ecosystem.
Why Exhibit? This event represents a premier gathering for leaders in high-content imaging, phenotypic screening, and AI-driven discovery. With at least 50% of attendees representing top-tier European pharmaceutical companies, this is a highly targeted forum designed to connect innovators with the technology partners driving the next generation of drug discovery.
In addition to world-class scientific talks and educational courses, the conference features dedicated networking sessions and an evening reception. It provides the ideal environment for strategic visibility, relationship-building, and positioning your brand at the forefront of translational biology and predictive toxicology.
