Benaroya Research Institute's third annual immunology symposium, New Horizons in Immunity and Disease, will take place on Tuesday, May 5, 2026. Due to strong interest and enthusiastic support from the immunology community, we’re relocating this year’s event to Bell Harbor International Conference Center in Seattle, a larger venue that will better accommodate our growing audience.
We’re excited to once again bring together leading voices from the local and national immunology research community for a day of collaboration, discovery, discussion and connection. Building on two years of full houses, dynamic presentations, and meaningful dialogue, this year’s symposium is set to continue that momentum.
More details, including program highlights and event speakers, will be shared soon.
Please contact BRI's marketing and communications team via email with any questions.

Additional speakers and the full agenda will be announced in the coming months. Registration is now open.
