The BD truth
Where Deals Actually Start
Deals come from relationships, and relationships come from repeated, real time with the right people. A generic floor gives you neither. This format engineers both.
You already know the hard part of business development is not the first hello, it is the second and third conversation. At most events you trade a card and never speak again. Here you meet the same senior people across formal meetings, shared sessions, and a drinks reception, so a contact becomes a relationship before you leave London.
The Relationship Touchpoints You Get
- Pre-arranged 1:1 meetings with chosen buyers
- Shared sessions and panels with the same room
- Networking lunches across both days
- A drinks reception on Day 1
- Warm, specific follow-ups afterwards
The diary
Your Two Days, Mapped
This is the shape of a business development day at FutureDx, meetings booked, time protected, relationships built.
An example shape of your two days. Your exact meeting count depends on your package.
The take-aways
What You Can Walk Away With
Two days, done well, should leave you with more than a lanyard. Here is what good business development looks like here.
A Pipeline of Booked Opportunities
Qualified conversations you can progress next week.
New Distribution or Channel Partners
Conversations that start a partnership, not just a sale.
Reference Customers to Cite
Early adopters whose names open the next doors.
A Read on Competitor Moves
Where the market and your rivals are heading next.
A Stack of Warm Follow-Ups
Specific next steps, not a pile of cold cards.
Relationships You Can Call Next Quarter
Senior contacts who remember the conversation.
The room
Who Fills Your Diary
A booked meeting only matters if the person across the table can act. Here, they can.
Delegate Seniority
Every Meeting Is With Someone Who Can Act
The room is capped and validated, so the names in your diary are decision-makers and procurement influencers, not gatekeepers. That is what turns a meeting into a deal. Reach them through the 1:1 meetings programme or a sponsorship package.

Questions
The Questions a BD Leader Asks
How are the meetings arranged?
The team matches you with relevant buyers before the event based on the targets you share, then books the meetings into your diary. You arrive with a planned schedule rather than hoping to bump into the right people.
Can I choose who I meet?
You tell the team the trusts, labs, and roles you most want to reach, and the meetings are matched to that as far as the room allows. It is targeted business development, not a lucky-dip of badge scans.
How many meetings will I get?
It depends on your package: pre-arranged meetings range from 6 with Gold to 15 with Headline, or up to 20 with the standalone 1:1 Meetings programme. Every one is a confirmed conversation with a validated buyer.
Is there time to build relationships beyond the meetings?
Yes, and that is where a lot of deals begin. Alongside the formal meetings there are shared sessions, networking lunches, and a drinks reception on Day 1, so you get repeated, informal contact with the same senior people across two days.
How is this better than working a big event floor?
On a big floor you chase strangers and most are not your buyer. Here the meetings are pre-arranged with validated, senior people, so your time goes into progressing conversations rather than starting cold ones. See how it compares to a trade show.
It is the inaugural edition. Will the right people be there?
The room is capped and curated rather than chasing scale: 150 plus senior diagnostics professionals, every one validated before they register. For business development, a small validated room is usually more productive than a large unfiltered one.
When and where is FutureDx Summit 2026 held?
FutureDx Summit 2026 runs across two days on 27 and 28 October 2026 in London, UK, with a drinks reception on Day 1.
