  • Source: www.onyxnewsroom.com/ - Onyx Newsroom's own website (site name and footer "Onyx Newsroom Ltd" read on 16 October 2026), linked from the byline; it is the publisher of this guide and organiser of this event. Not an event page.
  • Source: www.cellandgene.live/ - Description and location review: organiser page describes founders, pharma BD teams and biotech investors, breakfast, talks, lunch and a drinks reception with Shangri-La hospitality at The Shard. Onyx remains the host; owner-confirmed address 32 London Bridge Street SE1 9SG retained. Existing timetable and price evidence preserved.

Added the previously omitted VAT qualification. Ticket categories depend on attendee eligibility; this was a price check, not a new timetable verification.

  • Source: www.cellandgene.live/ - Discrepancy resolved: homepage JSON-LD now reads 08:30-18:30, matching the agenda. Page titles the event "Cell & Gene Leaders Live"; FAQ gives 32 London Bridge Street, SE1 9SG.

Tickets on sale at /tickets: £899 basic, £1,199 premium. Conflict: LLSW calendar lists 8:30 am-4:30 pm and "Shangri-La The Shard, SE1 9QU"; organiser's own site (Onyx) takes precedence - hospitality is provided by Shangri-La inside The Shard.
