Upcoming & Past Events

Phacilitate Precision Medicine

31 October – 1 November 2017  ·  Washington DC, USA

A gathering focused on precision medicine approaches within the advanced therapies landscape, connecting researchers, clinicians, and industry partners.

Cell and gene therapy is reshaping how researchers and clinicians approach some of the most complex diseases, and industry gatherings have become central to that momentum. The Cell & Gene Therapy World community brings together executives, scientists, and investors around a shared interest in translational science and commercial development. Events are designed to balance strategic partnering with substantive learning, giving delegates a structured environment to exchange perspectives. Forums frequently run alongside related summits, creating overlap between cell therapy, regenerative medicine, and adjacent fields. This calendar offers a working overview of where the community is convening next, helping attendees plan their year around the most relevant opportunities for collaboration, education, and visibility within the advanced therapies space and its broader ecosystem of supporting partners and service providers across the global life sciences landscape today.

The flagship Cell & Gene Therapy World conference anchors the calendar each year, drawing senior leaders from across biopharma, academia, and investment. Sessions typically explore manufacturing scale-up, regulatory pathways, market access, and clinical progress in advanced therapies, alongside investor perspectives on emerging business models. Co-located forums extend the conversation into specialised areas such as immuno-oncology, stem cell research, and precision medicine, allowing delegates to move between complementary programmes without losing continuity. The format combines keynote discussions, focused workshops, and structured networking opportunities, reflecting the field's need for both high-level strategy and operational detail. By convening these communities in a single venue, the event supports the kind of cross-sector dialogue that has become characteristic of the cell and gene therapy industry, where progress often depends on partnerships formed outside traditional organisational boundaries and disciplines across the global innovation network.

Beyond the headline conference, the calendar features a broader portfolio of gatherings that reflect the diversity of the advanced therapies landscape, from training academies and translational forums to symposia focused on specific cell types or manufacturing themes. Past events remain visible as a reference point, allowing newcomers to trace the evolution of discussions around supply chain logistics, bioprocess automation, and clinical translation. Upcoming programmes are typically held in locations chosen for accessibility and proximity to active research hubs, with formats ranging from intimate workshops to larger multi-track forums. The result is a continuous rhythm of meetings throughout the year, each contributing to a shared knowledge base that supports the field's collective progress. Together, these events form an annual rhythm that helps the community stay connected across regions, disciplines, and stages of therapeutic development.
