The 8th Annual Cell and Gene Therapy Innovation Leaders Summit 2025: Scaling Impact, Accelerating Access
Join 200 top-tier C-suite executives at The Annual Cell and Gene Therapy Innovation Leaders Summit, an exclusive leadership summit designed to address the most pressing challenges facing the cell and gene therapy (CGT) sector.
As the field matures, the need for strategic, scalable solutions has never been more urgent. This high-level gathering offers a unique platform to collaborate, innovate, and lead the transformation of CGT from niche breakthroughs to mainstream therapies.
Across two dynamic days of curated keynotes, executive panels, and closed-door roundtables, we’ll tackle the barriers that stand between scientific progress and patient access:
2025 Programme Snapshot
Why It Matters: For the patients, we must do better.
Behind every scientific milestone and logistical breakthrough is a patient waiting often urgently -for life-changing treatment. This summit is not just about overcoming industry barriers; it’s about accelerating the timeline between discovery and delivery. By addressing these challenges at the highest level, we’re advancing a future where CGTs are not just available to a few, but accessible to many.
Whether it's a child with spinal muscular atrophy or an adult with aggressive leukemia, the decisions made in boardrooms today will shape outcomes in clinics tomorrow. Let’s ensure those decisions are bold, collaborative, and future-focused.

CORE PURPOSE
Behind every therapy, every platform, and every breakthrough — there are people. The patients we fight for. The scientists, clinicians, and leaders who make it possible. The supply chain heroes, the nurses delivering cell infusions, and the parents holding on to hope.
The Annual Cell and Gene Therapy Innovation Leaders Summit is more than a leadership gathering.
It’s a platform to share the stories, surface the struggles, and accelerate the solutions that actually reach patients — not just pipelines.
