What conference is this?

Antibody Engineering & Therapeutics is Informa Connect’s annual meeting on antibody discovery and engineering, run with The Antibody Society and held December 13–16, 2026 at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina. It brings together antibody discovery, protein engineering and developability scientists from pharma, biotech and academia with the discovery-platform, reagent and instrument companies that serve them, across tracks on in vitro and in vivo discovery, bispecifics and multispecifics, cell engagers, antibody–drug conjugates, antibody interfaces and domains, difficult targets, and uses beyond oncology.

What is in this guide?

Every organization we can place at Antibody Engineering 2026: 113 speakers from the public program (127 sessions) rolled up to their companies and institutions, plus the 75 sponsors and exhibitors from the public directory with their booth numbers where published — 153 organizations in one list. Speakers appear as job titles, never by name.

How are organizations typed?

By the role an organization plays in antibody discovery and development: drug developers (large pharma and biotech), then the companies around them — CROs and CDMOs, discovery platforms, reagents, instruments and analytics, software and AI, consulting and other services — and academic, government and non-profit bodies. The topic filters come from the track a session sits in and from each session’s own title and abstract.

How current is it?

Pulled from the public agenda, speaker list and sponsor directory on September 26, 2026. Exhibit-hall hours are the first and last exhibit-hall activity on the public agenda.
