This past September 25-28, 2023, over 1,100 international attendees (90% in-person) learned and networked together at our 20th Anniversary Discovery on Target.

The sold-out Exhibit Hall featured 93 companies with novel solutions and technologies. These leading providers extended their impact across agenda presentations highlighting new offerings to the scientific community. Attendees also enjoyed 100+ posters by students, academia, and industry revealing drug discovery research on the cutting edge.

The event included 275+ expert speakers, 16 conference tracks, 2 symposia, 8 interactive courses, and 1 in-depth training seminar. Interest and track hopping were healthy across topics, from popular kinases and immunomodulation to protein degradation and AI; new or expanded programming on transcription factors and small molecules for cancer targets; stalwarts like antibodies; and plenty more.
