Building on the Past, Moving Forward Together:
Preview of SAPA 2026 Annual Programs and Events
Time moves on, but our mission remains the same. As we say goodbye to a fruitful 2025, we step together into a hopeful and inspiring 2026.
Founded in 1993, the Sino-American Pharmaceutical Professionals Association (SAPA) has always been dedicated to advancing the pharmaceutical and biotech industry, promoting collaboration between China and the United States, and supporting the professional growth of its members. Over the past 33 years, SAPA has grown into a well-established platform with multiple chapters across North America and China, bringing together thousands of professionals from academia, industry, and investment.
In the new year, SAPA will continue to uphold its core values of Science, Education, Collaboration, and Growth, and will carefully organize a wide range of online and in-person events. We look forward to reconnecting with both new and longtime friends to explore cutting-edge technologies, follow industry trends, expand professional networks, and discover new possibilities together in the world of biomedicine.
Below is a preview of SAPA’s exciting 2026 event calendar. We warmly invite you to join us as we open a new chapter together.
For detailed and up-to-date event information, please follow SAPA’s official WeChat account and the LinkedIn pages, websites, or email newsletters of each chapter. We look forward to creating more meaningful moments with you in the year ahead.
