Raw Materials for Cell & Gene Therapy Summit 2026 runs October 26–28, 2026.

It is held at The Westgate Hotel, 1055 2nd Ave, San Diego, CA 92101.

Quality, MSAT, supply chain, and process development professionals in cell and gene therapy attend.

It is a narrow, single-topic forum with a sizeable speaker roster and exhibitors including Bristol Myers Squibb, Astellas and Fate Therapeutics; people in commercial, clinical or general biotech roles with no hand in sourcing or quality decisions would get less from it.

Biotech and cell therapy conferences in San Diego usually call for business casual, such as slacks or chinos with a collared shirt or blouse, with a light layer for air-conditioned rooms.
