The IIFH Partner Summit 2026: Signals and Strategy in Food & Health — Technology and Investment will take place May 13–14, 2026, with a welcome dinner on the evening of May 12 at the historic Asilomar Conference Grounds, a venue long recognized for hosting consequential scientific convenings—including the landmark 1975 meeting that helped shape the trajectory of modern biotechnology. 

Designed as an invitation-only, retreat-style convening, the Summit brings together IIFH partners with senior leaders across academia, industry, investment, and philanthropy to examine the signals shaping food and health systems. Rather than predicting a single future, the program explores signals that may presage a range of possible outcomes, pairing use-inspired research with focused discussion on strategic, commercial, and capital allocation implications.

By leveraging Asilomar’s legacy as a place for reflection at moments of emerging capabilities, the Partner Summit supports informed judgment and long-term decision-making—allowing each organization to interpret how evolving scientific and market dynamics shape its own strategic path.
