Linking Chemistry to Clinical Success Through Better ADC Design

Showcasing Novel Linker & Conjugation Technologies to Optimize Stability, Unlock New Payloads, & Reduce Off-Target Toxicity to Better Balance Safety & Efficacy

ADC innovation is accelerating beyond traditional cytotoxins into dual-payload constructs, high-DAR species, degrader-antibody conjugates, and next-generation modalities. However, this rapid evolution is placing unprecedented pressure on linker architecture and conjugation chemistry to control stability, reduce off-target toxicity, overcome tumor resistance, and maintain manufacturability.

To meet these challenges head on, the 4th ADC Linker & Conjugation Summit offers a highly technical, deeply curated environment built specifically for specialists working at the cutting edge of ADC chemistry. At this summit, you aren’t lost in a crowd, you’re surrounded by peers who share the same job titles, scientific focus, and day-to-day challenges. Every session is built for specialists, every conversation is relevant, and every detail is designed to advance real chemistry solutions.

Over three focused days, 80+ ADC chemists, protein engineers, and translational scientists will dissect the core chemistry questions shaping next generation ADC performance. With 20+ expert-led case studies from leading biopharma and biotech innovators, you’ll gain actionable insights to engineer homogeneous ADCs, prevent premature payload release, enable orthogonal dual payload systems, mitigate hydrophobicity driven aggregation, and integrate predictive modeling into platform design.

Through hands-on workshops, technical debates, and collaborative networking, this summit gives you the rare opportunity to shape the linker and conjugation strategies that will define the next decade of ADC development.

The timing and content of the talks was fantastic.

I enjoyed that it was a very specific crowd of experts in (as the name indicates) Linker & Conjugation - especially that it wasn't only big pharma based but a nice mixtures of pharmaceutical companies, biotech, start-up and even academia-based professors. I appreciated that it wasn't too big of a crowd either, so you had the chance to meet and connect with everyone (kudos for the speed networking as well). I think having the first pre-conference workshop day was really good also, this featured some interesting conversations and set the tone for the rest of the conference. Choice of speakers/topics was really well done as well, learnt some new things from the fields!
