Make the most of your digital experience

Tailor Your Agenda – with sessions spanning across multiple days, design your own agenda based on who you want to hear from and what will be most useful to your business.

Get More Involved – virtual events offer many more interactive opportunities than live events; participate in live polls, live Q&A and live panel discussions – helping you build your personal brand and your business connections.

Improved Audience Visibility – you can see exactly who is registered to attend the event and when they’re online – make that valuable connection in real-time!

On-Demand Content – missed a session or couldn’t tune in that day? That’s fine, sessions will be available to listen to for 2 months post event. That also means you can listen to your favourite speaker multiple times.

High Quality Speakers – this doesn’t change, whether we run a live event or a virtual one, we recruit industry leading, insightful speakers to inspire.

More Networking Opportunities – do you sometimes miss the one person you were hoping to meet at live events? With virtual events you can instant message them, reserve a time in their diary, and email them.

Save Time & Money – tune into an event from the comfort of your own home, no need to travel overseas, spend time away from loved ones and spend your company’s money! This makes networking and knowledge sharing much more cost efficient.

Increased Content – we can run more sessions at one time without the constraints of venue capacities, meaning we can provide you with more valuable content in one go.

Business Development Opportunities – for those looking to partner on the virtual events, there’s lots of session formats that will place you at the centre of the conversations you need to have, including but not limited to; topic specific roundtables, keynote panels, ask the expert chat rooms and more. Talk to our team to find out more [email protected].

Insights – using analytics, we can help you benchmark, to stay ahead of industry trends. We can also share audience insights on job titles, seniority and geography, so you know your networking with the right connections to match your business needs.

Why Attend

Onco Cell Therapy Summit (OCTS), formerly the CAR-T Congress, is an event that brings industry together to share novel research, manufacturing techniques and regulatory best practice. Each session of OCTS 2020 is dedicated to translating your novel data assets & IP into commercially viable oncological therapies.

OCTS is a 4-track event and whilst bringing together the key decision makers for CAR-T therapies, this year’s event will have an added focus on the ground breaking science that is driving the surge of interest in harnessing alternative cell therapies in cancer treatments.

With 2 of our tracks comprised of research on CAR-T and alternative cell therapies, the other pillar in rolling out these therapies is increasing the affordability of the treatments. The other two tracks will delve into best practice in commercialization and manufacturing of immuno-oncological cell therapies.

Each day of the summit will conclude in plenary room panels that spin out into bespoke roundtable discussions to break down the key challenges in major topics to R&D, manufacturing and commercialization.

WHO WILL BE THERE

Network with industry experts from:

  • Big pharma and biotech
  • Cell Therapy Academics and clinicians 
  • Process standardisation - technology/services
  • Logistics companies - cell storage/transport
  • Service providers - CRO’s, Consultants, Government

Past attendees include:

The Agenda

Following the third annual CAR-T Congress earlier this year, we recognized a need for more content, covering regulation, alternative cell therapies and commercialization. Introducing the Onco Cell Therapy Summit (OCTS), dedicated to translating the emerging novel data from leading academia and innovating biotechs into commercially viable therapies.

Join us to take a deep dive into the research on solid tumors and “off the shelf” therapies that are defining the direction for oncological cell therapy development pipelines. Each day of the congress will conclude in plenary room panels that spin out into bespoke roundtable discussions to break down the key challenges in major topics to R&D, manufacturing and commercialization.

New for this year

• 4 tracks focusing on: CAR-T R&D, Alternative Cell Therapies, Vein-to-Vein
Commercialization, Regulation and Safety;

• More networking across the industry, where you can organise private 1-2-1 virtual meetings.
