What is ABFO

The Association of Bioscience Financial Officers (ABFO) is a national networking organization for financial leaders in biotechnology, med tech, and the broader life sciences industry.

At the national level, ABFO hosts an annual conference, bringing together 200+ senior finance executives for three days of insightful programming, industry updates, and peer-to-peer learning.

Beyond the national stage, regional chapters hold events throughout the year that focus on the real-world challenges financial officers face every day. These gatherings - often over breakfast or happy hour - combine relevant, high-value content with opportunities to build lasting professional connections.

Regional Chapter Events

ABFO’s regional chapters bring members together throughout the year for breakfast or happy hour sessions designed to keep financial leaders ahead of industry trends and growing their professional network.
These events are typically open to active members in the region and are intentionally focused on operators, creating meaningful discussions and peer learning opportunities, rather than service providers.
