SoCalBio Networking @ UCLA

SoCalBio’s Networking @ UCLA is billed as the longest-running bioscience mixer in the Greater Los Angeles / Orange County metro. The Southern California Biomedical Council uses the evening to connect faculty, executives, and life-science professionals across biotech, medtech, diagnostics, and digital health, with drinks and hors d’oeuvres and a clear academia-industry brief.

Thursday, August 27, 2026, 4:00-7:00 PM at the UCLA James West Alumni Center (325 Westwood Plaza). Ages 21+. Paid campus parking is noted on Eventbrite. Service-provider attendance is limited to event sponsors; faculty, operators, and life-science professionals are the core invite. Confirm ticket status and any sponsor rules on Eventbrite before you plan around the room.

Go if you work in life sciences or healthtech and want association density on the UCLA campus rather than a downtown pitch bar. Bring a short introduction tied to your modality or research lane. If you sell into the industry as a service firm, assume sponsor-only access unless SoCalBio says otherwise.
