About the 3rd ADC Analytical Development Summit

Thank you to our speakers, sponsors, and delegates who joined us in Boston for the summit! If you are interested in the 2025 event, please get in touch at adc@hansonwade.com

This was the only event dedicated to understanding and working through the analytical challenges faced by drug developers including drug-linker, drug substance, drug product and drug formulation

Regulatory expectations for ADCs have become narrower and narrower with previous nice-to-know information about your ADC becoming need-to-know, and extended characterization beginning to take place earlier and earlier. This has created a growing need for this community to unite to optimize physiochemical, potency and impurity assays to enhance ADC product understanding and quality to support these regulatory conversations.

Uniting 120+ ADC developers working in analytical development, CMC, technical operations, quality control and characterization including Daiichi Sankyo, Eli Lilly, ADC Therapeutics, Exelixis; this meeting combined a range of stakeholders from technical scientists through to more senior directors to network and share insightful insights with fellow peers.
