Catalyst calendar

The biotech year, as a hit-list.

Every investor conference and medical congress from ASCO 2026 onward, where BigBio is in the room. Each readout is a dated diligence opportunity — read against the published record before the print, not after. Where BigBio runs a hub, it is linked.
