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.
Thank you for your interest in BRI’s 2026 Immunology Symposium: New Horizons in Immunity and Disease. We are currently at capacity for the event and registration is closed. If you would like to be placed on the waitlist, please email communications@benaroyaresearch.org and we will contact you if space is available.
Please contact BRI's marketing and communications team via email with any questions.
