Daylight at BIO: Science, Art, & Coffee Lounge
Before diving into the frenzy of evening events at BIO 2025, join us for a different kind of gathering — one grounded in intention, conversation, and creativity.
Spend your Tuesday morning and afternoon just outside the city at Greystar’s brand new life science building in Assembly Square, Somerville. This curated lounge experience blends the worlds of biotech, art, and community, offering a refreshing break from the traditional conference grind.
Designed for biotech founders, professionals, and creative thinkers, the space features thought-provoking science sessions, art-driven activations, and space to actually connect — not just exchange business cards. From espresso-fueled meetups to relaxed, high-caliber conversations, this is a day to recharge and reflect before the night ramps up.
