DIA Celebrate, featuring the Inspire Awards

Where Shared Purpose Takes Center Stage

The biggest networking event at DIA 2026 has a new night and a new energy.

DIA Celebrate is more than a reception and more than an awards ceremony. It is a signature moment for our global community.

Held at the National Constitution Center, in the heart of historic Philadelphia, Celebrate brings together the entire DIA 2026 community for an evening where innovation meets inspiration. After days of learning, collaboration, and forward thinking, we pause together to recognize the people and progress shaping the future of healthcare.

At the center of the evening is the Inspire Awards, a dynamic one-hour program honoring leaders, organizations, and changemakers driving meaningful impact across the life sciences ecosystem. These are the individuals and teams advancing science, strengthening policy, elevating patient voices, and improving lives worldwide.

But the night is about more than recognition. It is about connection.

Wednesday night gives you the perfect opportunity to reconnect with colleagues, spark new conversations, and celebrate the shared purpose that unites our global network. Expect a high-energy atmosphere where recognition, community, and inspiration come together in one powerful experience.

For more than 60 years, DIA has been a trusted, neutral forum where diverse voices collaborate across borders and disciplines. Celebrate is where that shared mission takes center stage and the people behind the progress are recognized in front of the community they inspire.

Make plans to be there. This is the moment you will not want to miss.
