Two days at the edge of the Southern Ocean — bringing together international and Australian-based researchers across industry and academia to shape the next decade of antibody therapeutics.
Building on the success of the Sydney Antibody Therapeutics Conference in 2023 and 2025, the inaugural Lorne Antibody Summit relocates the field's leading conversations to the Great Ocean Road.
Across two days, the programme will weave plenary lectures, short talks, and poster sessions through the discovery, engineering, manufacturing, and clinical translation of next-generation antibody therapeutics — with deliberate space for the unstructured conversations that move the science forward.
The Summit is hosted by the original Sydney organising committee. Expect early starts, long day breaks to explore Lorne, and early evening sessions and poster viewing.
Single-stream programme, six themes over two days. No parallel sessions.
Dates may shift — confirmed on registration opening.
Mountjoy Parade, Lorne, Victoria — a heritage retreat overlooking Loutit Bay, with sessions in the main hall and breakouts spilling onto the foreshore.
