Ground Transport for
BIO International Convention
The BIO International Convention brings 18,000+ biotech and pharmaceutical leaders from 70+ countries to the San Diego Convention Center for the world's largest biotech partnering event. We handle every transfer — airport, hotel, partnering dinners — with the precision and reliability that deal-making weeks demand.
About BIO International Convention
Organized by the Biotechnology Innovation Organization, the BIO International Convention is the largest and most influential biotech gathering in the world. The 2026 edition runs June 22-25 at the San Diego Convention Center, drawing pharmaceutical and biotech executives, investors, and business-development teams from more than 70 countries. The week is built around BIO One-on-One Partnering, the industry's most important deal-making forum.
Beyond the exhibition floor and keynote sessions, the real work happens in back-to-back partnering meetings, investor breakfasts, and evening receptions across San Diego — from the Gaslamp Quarter to the biotech cluster in Torrey Pines and La Jolla. Coordinating tightly scheduled movements between the convention center, downtown hotels, and dinner venues is where reliable ground transport earns its place.

Attending back-to-back events in different cities? We provide comfortable, chauffeured inter-city transport so you can work or rest during the drive instead of dealing with train stations or domestic flights.
