The Pre-Eminent Forum for the European Community to Harness Worldwide ADC Innovation & Collaboration

Alongside ADC’s aspiration of advancing to earlier line patient therapies now becoming a reality, the ADC community is preparing to address the consequences of this clinical success.

With the current clinical landscape saturated across Topo1 and MMAE payloads and crowding around established tumour targets, alongside the anticipation of patient resistance looming, it is crucial to double down on differentiation across the value chain, to secure an effective future landscape of ADC therapies for patients in need.

As the longest-standing and pre-eminent antibody-drug conjugate conference in Europe, the 16th World ADC London's agenda has been infused with global ADC design, development, and production differentiation across the whole value chain.

Featuring novel cytotoxic and non-cytotoxic payloads, dual payload ADCs, bispecific ADCs, non-antibody and fragment conjugates and more – don’t miss the trailblazing innovations to overcome patient resistance mechanisms and push ADCs to earlier line oncology treatments.

Plan Out Your World ADC London Priority Content

Seminar Day - Monday, 23rd February 2026

Ahead of the main conference days, the seminar day is your perfect opportunity to delve into key ADC challenges and bottlenecks across novel conjugates, toxicity, combinations and reg CMC led by forward-thinking ADC experts:

4th Novel Conjugates Day: Discover novel payloads and targeting moieties to stay ahead of the ADC design curve
3rd Toxicity Day: Characterise and mitigate ADC toxicity to deliver safer and more effective ADCs
4th ADCs in Combination Day: Optimise ADC combination strategy to elevate clinical impact and overcome resistance
2nd Regulatory CMC Day: Understand regulatory expectations to elevate your ADC reg CMC strategy

Main Programme Days - Tuesday, 24th February & Wednesday, 25th February 2026

Headlined with keynote plenary sessions from senior ADC leaders showcasing blockbuster clinical development and discussing future priorities to differentiate ADC performance, the main programme days will deliver cutting-edge, end-end ADC development insights through data-driven presentations from a global faculty across five content tracks:

  1. Discovery
  2. Preclinical & Translational
  3. Clinical Lessons
  4. Process & Analytical Development
  5. Manufacturing & Supply Chain

Across both days, you can access structured and informal networking opportunities to reconnect with your peers and meet fresh faces to establish new scientific and business “linkers” as the ADC community reunites to kickstart 2026 ADC development.

After the scientific presentations on Day One, make sure you don’t miss the popular Evening Drinks Reception!

Workshop Day - Thursday, 26th February 2026

Reinvigorated with new insights from the main programme days, continue the conversation with like-minded peers in a series of discussions, debates, and forward-thinking sessions to find solutions to your most pressing challenges in the ADC field.

Taking place in more intimate settings, this is your best opportunity to voice your questions and challenge your peers in these collaborative sessions tailored for beginners in the field and for everyone working on ADCs.
