ADC development is moving into earlier lines of treatment and investors are reshaping partnerships across linker-payload technologies. World ADC 2027 takes place from 8 to 11 March 2027 in London and delivers technical tracks and partnering time focused on advancing conjugate design. This article profiles the audience, the agenda focus and actionable steps for targeted B2B outreach.
When and where for World ADC 2027 London
The meeting runs 8 to 11 March 2027 at Novotel London West, 1 Shortlands Hammersmith International Centre. The format combines multi-track scientific sessions with dedicated partnering and networking blocks over four days.
Key numbers for the event
The preliminary agenda cites over 700 senior ADC industry leaders and more than 90 global experts on the speaker faculty. Content is split across 5 dedicated tracks and the schedule includes upwards of 14 hours devoted to networking and partnering activities.
Who attends and what companies participate
Delegates include biopharma and biotech R&D leaders, academic investigators, clinical researchers, investors and solution providers. Job functions span discovery, translational preclinical work, clinical development, pharmacology, analytical development and manufacturing. The attendee mix reflects both technology developers for linker-payload systems and providers of process and analytical solutions.
Program focus and scientific themes
Five end-to-end tracks address discovery, preclinical and translational development, clinical learnings, process and analytical development, and manufacturing and supply chain. Major topics highlighted in the agenda are differentiated conjugate design, strategies to overcome resistance mechanisms, and approaches to accelerate clinical validation and earlier treatment settings.
How to approach commercial prospecting at World ADC 2027
- Target contacts by track and function. Prioritize discovery and process/analytical leads if you sell platform technologies or assay services.
- Prepare a concise technical value statement plus one clear clinical or operational benefit. Make it easy for contacts to understand the use case in under 30 seconds.
- Use the event’s partnering blocks for focused 20–30 minute meetings and follow up immediately with technical collateral and proposed next steps.
- Map sessions of interest to your priority list and schedule meetings around those presentations to continue technical conversations while the topic is fresh.
- Bring shareable data summaries and case studies that can be sent via the event platform or email during the conference.
