Our goal is to expand future opportunities for local professionals by creating a forum for networking across the life and health sciences universe.

Bio Pharma Networking Group (BPNG) emerged from a previous Pharmaceutical, Biotech and Life Sciences professionals group and was formed in 2010. Initially serving the Metro New York and Philadelphia areas, BPNG became a well established organization serving over 10,000 members pre-pandemic. We are pleased to announce we are currently holding or planning events at the State/Regional level (MAPBNG, NCPBNG, NJBPNG, PABPNG and NYBPNG) and hope to relaunch other chapters on an ongoing basis. The BPNG community supports various disciplines and corporate cultures that value relationship building at all stages of industry careers. We are open to professionals in biotech, pharmaceutical, medical device, diagnostic and healthcare companies as well as those at non-profits, research foundations and academic institutions. Members of angel, seed, or venture capital financing institutions as well as members of the biopharma covering media are also welcome.

BPNG Chapters encourages participation of industry service providers, sales firms and business development professionals. Service providers include recruiting, law firms, real estate, public relations as well as marketing, consulting and accounting firms. Sales firms include companies that provide instrumentation, software/IT, and reagents to the life science community. We promote effective leads & resource sharing at our events where people with common industry backgrounds and interests can exchange information, trends and ideas in a relaxed setting.

Our focus is on finding and developing real career and business connections by meeting and conversing face-to-face (f-2-f) with other professionals in the life sciences / pharma / biotech / med device / healthcare industries on a monthly basis in a casual happy hour setting.
