What does the day include?

The day begins with a networking breakfast and a chance to make new connections or link up with colleagues or friends. Continue the conversation at lunch and a drinks reception after the event - it's all included. Five star catering and hospitality are provided by Shangri-La at The Shard, a London icon and one of the city's most stunning venues.

What is Cell & Gene Leaders Live?

Too many conferences are cold and impersonal, hurrying between events in draughty halls, clutching coffee in paper cups. Not Cell and Gene Leaders Live though. You'll get the best of hospitality in a premium venue where the speakers are top level, the discussions are stimulating, and the views across London are simply sensational. Everything is catered or in a 5 star environment, leaving you to make or renew contracts and get on with the business of doing business.

When and where is it?

Everything happens on 15 November 2026, at The Shard, 32 London Bridge Street, London SE1 9SG. The Shard is a London icon and the city's tallest building. It's superbly connected just a couple of minutes walk from London Bridge station with Tube services and National Rail links. Kick off the day with a networking breakfast, enjoy a relaxing lunch and cap it all with a Networking Drinks Reception into the early evening - it's all included.

Reserve your place.
