When and where is Cell 2026?

Cell 2026 (Cell Culture, Cell Line Development & Cell and Gene Therapy) runs November 12–13, 2026, at Novotel London West in London, UK.

Where is the Cell 2026 program?

This guide lists every organization on the Cell 2026 program with its sessions; the full program is on the official website.

How do I register for Cell 2026?

Fees and registration are on the organizer's registration page.

What conference is this?

Cell 2026 is a London meeting on cell culture, cell line development and cell and gene therapy, held November 12–13, 2026 at the Novotel London West. It brings together cell culture, cell-line development and cell and gene therapy manufacturing scientists from biopharma and academia with the bioprocess equipment, media, reagent and CDMO companies that serve them.

What is in this guide?

Every organization we can place at Cell 2026: 115 speakers from the public agenda (120 talks, keynotes, panels and sponsored presentations) rolled up to their companies and institutions, and the 48 sponsors with their level — 109 organizations in one list. Speakers appear as job titles, never by name. The organizers publish no attendee list and no booth numbers.

How are organizations typed?

By the role an organization plays in making cell-based and biologic products: drug developers (large pharma and biotech), then CDMOs and CROs, equipment and consumables suppliers, analytics and instrument makers, software and automation companies, and consultancies and other services — and academic, government and non-profit bodies. The topic filters are judged from each session’s title.

How current is it?

Pulled from the public agenda, speaker list and sponsor list on October 8, 2026, about five weeks before the meeting. The organizers add speakers and sponsors until the meeting.
