Early March: London’s oncology week
If oncology is your focus, the first half of March 2027 is the most efficient time to be in London. ImmunoMark Summit London (3–4 March) brings together 400+ senior immuno-oncology and biomarker leaders. Advanced Therapies UK (9–10 March) and World ADC London (8–11 March) follow the next week.
Teams working across IO, ADCs and the biomarkers that select patients for them can plan one trip around all three and meet several audiences in the same visit.
Why London matters for life sciences
London sits at the centre of one of the world’s strongest life sciences clusters. Leading academic medical centres, including University College London, Imperial College London and King’s College London, work alongside major pharmaceutical companies, a growing biotech base and NHS research infrastructure. With Oxford and Cambridge within an hour, the wider region gives companies access to science, talent, capital and patients in one place.
For international teams, London is also a natural European base: one trip can cover investors, pharma partners and clinical collaborators.
How to plan your London events calendar
- Pick your anchors. Decide whether you are going for investors, pharma partners, technology or clinical collaborators, and choose events that match.
- Cluster your trips. Mid-November and early March each concentrate several relevant events in one week.
- Book meetings, not just tickets. The most valuable conversations are arranged before you arrive. Events with structured 1:1 partnering save days of follow-up.
- Use the fringe. During London Life Sciences Week, smaller receptions and side events are often where the best introductions happen.
