Solidifying ADCs as Early-Line Patient Therapies by De-Risking Differentiated Payload MoAs Beyond Topo1, Elevating ADCs to Deliver Wider Impact in the Clinical Landscape & Adapting Manufacturing Efficiency for Novel & Cost-Effective ADCs
With groundbreaking clinical impact of traditional ADCs in first-line metastatic indications and ambitions set on neoadjuvant settings, the new era of ADCs are starting to enter the clinic and attract dealmaking attention, unlocking the next wave of differentiated ADCs to redefine the future standard of care in oncology and beyond.
Returning as the largest and definitive ADC congress, the 17th World ADC San Diego is THE one-stop bioconjugate shop bringing together the global ADC community for an unparalleled amalgamation of case studies, development trends and networking opportunities to forge ADC innovation into differentiated, early-line patient outcomes.
With 7 streams of end-to-end ADC content across Discovery Chemistry, Discovery Biology, Preclinical, Translational Medicine, Clinical Lessons, Process & Analytical Development, and Manufacturing & Supply Stream, all the ADC innovation will be in the spotlight for an unmissable week of data and insights to de‑risk future ADC development and push ADCs into earlier‑line oncology treatments.
Uniting 1,300 industry senior enthusiasts from biopharma, innovative start-ups, leading service providers and academic, physician and regulator KOLs, World ADC San Diego is the place to be to discuss, debate and advance the future of ADC development.
I have enjoyed attending World ADC San Diego year after year because it is the ultimate event to get all of your ADC information in one place. Clinical updates, novel technologies, development insights, it’s all here.

World ADC San Diego is the premier conference for ADC developers. I learned how to make ADCs through World ADC, and I encourage everyone who wants to make a world-class ADC to attend.

The program was outstanding. There was something for everyone. There were times when I could not choose which talk to attend. Not a boring moment.
