CBA × BATBA Summer BBQ

CBA and BATBA’s joint Summer BBQ is an outdoor Peninsula gathering for Bay Area biotech and pharma professionals, students, postdocs, and founders. Chinese Bioscience Association has run Bay life-science programming for decades; BATBA anchors the Taiwanese biotech peer network. The format is casual food and conversation, but the host pair is the quality filter that clears Circuit over a stranger picnic.

Saturday, August 29, 2026, 11:00 AM-3:00 PM PDT at Mitchell Park, 600 E Meadow Drive, Palo Alto. CBA’s public calendar lists the date; registration has been promoted via chapter LinkedIn with a QR path. Confirm the live RSVP method on cbasf.org or the chapter announcement before you plan parking at the park.

Go if you want Chinese and Taiwanese life-science peer density on the Peninsula without waiting for CBA’s larger October conference. Skip if you need a paid multi-track AI festival or CNCF Kubernetes deep dives the same week. Bring sunscreen, a short scientific or industry intro, and treat it as relationship time, not a pitch stage.
