How do I find reliable industry webinar channels for session summaries from major cell and gene therapy meetings?

To find reliable industry webinar channels for session summaries from major cell and gene therapy meetings, use a mix of source vetting, targeted search terms, and recurring publisher/watchlist tracking.

1) Start with the right source types

The most reliable channels usually fall into these buckets:

• Conference organizers
  • Meeting websites often post recap webinars, highlight reels, or on-demand summaries.
• Industry media / publisher channels
  • Trade publications covering biotech, pharma, and CGT often host post-conference webinars with analysts or editors.
• Analyst firms and consultancies
  • They commonly run “what mattered at the meeting” webinars after major events.
• Professional associations
  • Sometimes host debriefs or member webinars.
• Vendor-sponsored educational webinars
  • Useful for trends, but verify for commercial bias.

2) Search with specific conference + recap keywords

Use combinations like:

• "cell and gene therapy" webinar session summary
• "ASGCT" webinar recap
• "ESGCT" conference highlights webinar
• "cell therapy" post-conference webinar
• "gene therapy" meeting summary webinar
• "CGT meeting takeaways webinar
• "conference highlights" "cell and gene therapy"

Add filters:

• site:youtube.com
• site:linkedin.com
• site:zoom.us
• site:eventbrite.com
• site:*.org or site:*.com

Example:

• ASGCT conference highlights webinar site:youtube.com
• ESGCT session summary webinar site:linkedin.com

3) Identify recurring trusted publishers

Look for channels that repeatedly cover major meetings such as:

• ASGCT
• ESGCT
• J.P. Morgan / BIO-related CGT coverage
• Cell & Gene Meeting on the Mesa
• TIDES
• Phacilitate / CGT-focused meetings
• ISCT

Then check whether the channel:

• posts every year
• clearly labels sponsored vs editorial
• features named experts
• provides archived replays or slides
• is associated with a recognizable organization

4) Vet for reliability

A good webinar channel should have:

• clear authorship/speakers
• date and meeting referenced
• source transparency
• no exaggerated claims
• balanced discussion of scientific and commercial issues
• multiple independent viewpoints

Red flags:

• no speaker credentials
• vague “industry experts”
• overly promotional tone
• no mention of the specific conference/session
• recycled content without updates

5) Use platform-specific tactics

YouTube

• Search by meeting name + “highlights,” “recap,” “summary,” or “takeaways.”
• Sort by upload date around conference dates.
• Check channel history for prior years.

LinkedIn

• Follow publishers, analysts, and conference organizers.
• Search posts with hashtags like:
  • #ASGCT
  • #ESGCT
  • #CellAndGeneTherapy
  • #CGT
• Many webinar announcements are posted there first.

Conference websites/newsletters

• Subscribe to official newsletters from major meetings.
• Look for “post-meeting resources,” “press coverage,” or “education” tabs.

6) Build a short watchlist

Create a list of 10–20 sources and monitor them around meeting season:

• official conference accounts
• biotech trade media
• CGT-focused analyst firms
• association newsletters
• YouTube channels of recurring hosts

Use alerts:

• Google Alerts for conference names + webinar/recap
• RSS feeds where available
• LinkedIn notifications on key pages

7) Quick rule for choosing the best channels

Prioritize channels that are:

1. meeting-specific
2. recurring
3. speaker-transparent
4. clearly tagged as editorial or sponsored
5. consistent in quality over multiple years
