NIIMBL’s 2026 U.S. Biopharma Workforce Partnership Conference

NIIMBL will host its 2026 U.S. Biopharma Workforce Partnership Conference this October in San Juan. This national convening is designed to strengthen talent pathways, improve workforce readiness, and expand innovative training and partnership models across the biopharmaceutical manufacturing ecosystem. The event brings together biopharma industry leaders, universities, community colleges, workforce organizations, and regional economic development partners to collaboratively address shared workforce challenges and opportunities.

This year’s program features dynamic plenary sessions on emerging workforce needs, AI and talent transformation, regional retention, and industry–academic partnership models. Community college faculty will find high‑value engagement formats including partnering tables, quick‑pitch opportunities, and a participant‑driven “unconference” that spotlights the topics most important to the national education and training community. Whether you’re aligning curricula to industry needs, strengthening employer partnerships, expanding applied learning opportunities, or exploring new workforce strategies for your students, this is a can’t‑miss opportunity to connect with peers from across the country and take home actionable insights and new collaborators.
