Complete guideFull MedicMess editorial briefing

The RNA Vaccines and Therapeutics Conference is a two-day London meeting for clinicians, academic researchers, biotech and pharma teams working around encoded RNA medicines. The public programme covers RNA design and optimisation, formulation, analytics, process modelling, manufacture, AI and digitisation, vaccines and therapeutic preclinical or clinical evaluation. It includes keynote talks from international RNA and vaccine leaders, invited sessions, panel discussion, poster flash presentations, poster prizes and networking time.

CPI states that abstract submissions are invited, with preference for new scientific data, clear results and meaningful developments rather than descriptive work. The visible deadline was 7 July 2026 at 17:00, with outcomes due by email by 31 July 2026. Accepted presenters must still register separately, and submissions may be published online and included in post-event materials.

There is a cost range of GBP 330 to GBP 570 but does not expose separate trainee or student categories in the public pages inspected. The RingCentral event page adds speaker, steering committee and venue detail but did not show a public registration closing date without entering a booking flow.
