Top Reasons to Renew
In the world of science, connection is the key to discovery. It can be connecting with the right people, connecting funding at the right time, or a scientist connecting two unexpected things together for results that have never been seen before. Biocom California is how the life science industry makes connections. We are how our members connect to community, capital and advocacy—and to new and better ways to work.
Connections that matter
In a newly virtual world, staying connected has never been more important, and Biocom California makes it easy to do just that.

Why did our membership renewal dues increase?
Industry dues are based on the total number of employees in California. When headcounts increase into the next membership dues tier this can increase your dues. Dues also tend to increase a little bit each year. Service provider dues are not based on employee headcount but are subject to a nominal dues increase each year.
