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.

Join Us in Boston for Discovery On Target 2023!

Discovery on Target (DOT) highlights advances in current and emerging “hot” targets and technologies, as well as target validation strategies for the discovery and development of novel therapeutic agents ranging from biologics to small molecules.

We aim to meet your research needs. Visit numerous concurrent sessions for informative presentations, lively dialogue, and meaningful connections with peers. Customize your experience further through focused short courses and a training seminar, interactive group discussions, and networking options that help you engage with experts and solutions providers.

Our 20th Anniversary event brings back popular topics like immunomodulation, protein degraders, and RNA, plus new, expanded, or returning programming on transcription factors, small molecules for cancer targets, and kinases.
