About (https://www.chi-peptalk.com/about): PepTalk 2027 is described as celebrating 26 years of advancing biotherapeutic discovery and development. Official copy calls it an annual gathering of the protein science community spanning biologics discovery to development, including protein expression, high-throughput automation, analytical intelligence, engineering of novel biologics (multispecifics, T cell engagers), and peptides. The program includes keynote sessions, case studies, symposia, training seminars, panel discussions, BuzZ roundtables, poster presentations, exhibits, and networking. Official body copy says 26 years, not an ordinal edition number, so no edition field is set.

Exhibits (https://www.chi-peptalk.com/exhibits): exhibitors are described as reaching 1,300+ qualified delegates. Exhibit space is listed as 8x10 with pipe and drape (https://www.chi-peptalk.com/Exhibit-Kit). Exhibit hall daily hours are not published; the exhibit kit page says Exhibit Hall Schedule Coming Soon. FAQs say registration hours will be determined in the near future. No daily open/close hours are used for this listing.
