Connect, collaborate, advance cancer research
Twice a year, Alliance group meetings bring together members, investigators, clinical research professionals, patient partners, and collaborators to share research progress, exchange ideas, and strengthen the partnerships that drive advances in cancer clinical research.
What to expect
- Committee meetings: This is where Alliance members discuss research priorities, study concepts, and ongoing clinical trials. Committees may hold open or closed sessions based on their needs.
- Educational sessions: Educational topics are always relevant to cancer research, with many sessions designed for nurses, clinical research professionals, and other members of the clinical research team.
- Plenary sessions: At the plenary session, we highlight the more important Alliance research and priorities, led by the Group Chair.
- Networking opportunities: We hold events that bring together investigators, research professionals, patient partners, and collaborators from across the Alliance to meet and share insight.
