ISCT 2026 DUBLIN MEETING RECAP 

 We hope you've enjoyed your time with us in Dublin. With packed sessions, global expert speakers, and incredible enthusiasm
across delegates, it has been a truly memorable meeting for the global cell and gene therapy community.
We offer our warmest thanks, as together, we continue to advance the Golden Age of Cell and Gene Therapy. 

Day 1 • May 6

"...In my opinion, the best conference, and the greatest community." - Dominic Clarke, PhD, ISCT 2026 Roundtable Co-Chair 

With packed sessions, global expert speakers, and undeniable enthusiasm across our delegates, it was a memorable start to our Dublin meeting. 

Day 2 • May 7

"...Once you come to one meeting, you're gonna be hooked. You're gonna come back every year." - Edwin Horwitz, MD, PhD, Editor-in-Chief of Cytotherapy®


Day Two of ISCT 2026 saw high-energy networking events, strong energy across exhibit and poster halls, and a truly global selection of high-quality scientific content.

Day 3 • May 8

 "We've moved, as an organization, from 'How do we manufacture these products?' to 'How do we get them in the hands of more patients?'" - Mark Flower, BSc, ISCT North America Regional Treasurer


Though we wrapped our time in Dublin, the stage is set for our global community to continue driving momentum across the full translational chain.
