NGBi26 (Next Great Big Ideas), Canada’s Life Sciences Summit

NGBi26, Canada’s Life Sciences Summit, brings leaders, innovators, and investors from across the country together for two days of national community building. The event runs September 28 and 29, 2026, at the Burlington Performing Arts Centre, with more than 500 attendees expected.

The program includes keynotes, panels, investor pitches, and structured networking sessions covering what is next for the Canadian life sciences sector. A “No Empty Seat Policy” supports access for startups, students, and academic researchers, and the summit is an independently organized, not-for-profit event, with proceeds supporting MacKids, the fundraising arm of Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation for McMaster Children’s Hospital.
