Transforming Vector Quality & COGs Through CMC

Accelerating Low-Cost Production of Consistent, Safe & Scalable Vectors for Cell & Gene Therapy to Ensure Regulatory Compliance & Clinical Success

With growing cost pressures, increasing regulatory scrutiny, and safety concerns reshaping the viral vector landscape, the field is at a pivotal inflection point. Developers are seizing new opportunities to improve scalability, reduce COGs, and strengthening batch consistency through smarter, data-driven manufacturing.

Returning to Boston for its 4th year, the Viral Vector Process Development & Manufacturing Summit is the only industry-led meeting dedicated to advancing process development and CMC for AAV, LV, RV, and emerging vector delivery systems.

Join over 80+ experts from Sanofi, Ultragenyx, Cabaletta Bio, Kite Pharmaceuticals, UCB, Obsidian Therapeutics as they uncover practical solutions in process optimization, automation, and regulatory alignment that are transforming vector manufacturing in 2026.

The organization of the conference was really well done. The interactive sessions - both during the workshops and during the main conference - were a key component that I really enjoyed.
