For better or for worse, 2025 is half-way over. There are still some good conferences coming up, and 2026 is also starting to take shape.
September 21-24: FBLD 2025 will be held in the original Cambridge (UK), where it was supposed to be held in 2020. This will mark the ninth in an illustrious series of conferences organized by scientists for scientists. You can read impressions of FBLD 2024, FBLD 2018, FBLD 2016, FBLD 2014, FBLD 2012, FBLD 2010, and FBLD 2009.
September 22-25: You'll need to make a tough choice: FBLD 2025 or CHI’s Twenty-Third Annual Discovery on Target in Boston. As the name implies this event is more target-focused than chemistry-focused, but there are always plenty of FBDD-related talks. You can read my impressions of the 2024 meeting, the 2023 meeting, the 2022 meeting, the 2021 meeting, the 2020 virtual meeting, the 2019 meeting, and the 2018 meeting.
November 11-13: CHI holds its second Drug Discovery Chemistry Europe in beautiful Barcelona. This will include tracks on lead generation, protein-protein interactions, degraders and glues, and machine learning, with multiple fragment talks throughout.

February 17-19: The Twelfth NovAliX Conference will be held for the first time in San Diego! (Please note the date and location change.) You can read my impressions of the 2018 Boston event here, the 2017 Strasbourg event here, and Teddy's impressions of the 2013 event here, here, and here.
April 13-16: CHI’s Fragment-Based Drug Discovery turns 21, old enough to legally drink in the US! The longest-running annual fragment event returns as always to San Diego. This is part of the larger Drug Discovery Chemistry meeting. You can read impressions of the 2025 meeting, the 2024 meeting, the 2023 meeting, the 2022 meeting, the 2021 virtual meeting, the 2020 virtual meeting, the 2019 meeting, the 2018 meeting, the 2017 meeting, the 2016 meeting; the 2015 meeting here, here, and here; the 2014 meeting here and here; the 2013 meeting here and here; the 2012 meeting; the 2011 meeting; and the 2010 meeting.
