11th Annual World ADC Awards

11 Years of Recognizing & Celebrating Top Caliber Achievements, Differentiation & Impact in Antibody-Drug Conjugate Development

The ADC field continued to go from strength to strength with transformative clinical advancements for oncology patients, new companies entering the field, and game-changing ADC technologies. As the community reunited at World ADC San Diego, it was important to reflect and recognize the long-term contributors, novel and innovative programs, and upcoming pioneers who have gone above and beyond to ensure the continued success of the field.

Taking place after scientific program day two, the 11th Annual World ADC Awards served as the attendees' opportunity to celebrate amazing individual work, extraordinary endeavors, teamwork, and commercial acumen over the past 12 months to progress ADCs towards standard-of-care treatments.
