Dynamic interactions and exciting science characterize all of the AACR’s meetings, conferences and educational workshops. Anchored by the Annual Meeting, the largest of its kind in the world for cancer researchers attracting more than 18,000 researchers from over 60 countries. The Annual Meeting is usually held in late March or early April. The AACR offers an unparalleled range of conferences for cancer scientists.
In addition to the Annual Meeting, the AACR holds several large conferences (500-3,000 attendees or more) that focus on the latest developments and advances in Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics (joint meeting with EORTC and the NCI), Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research, Cancer Health Disparities, and Frontiers in Basic Cancer Research. AACR is also proud to be a partner on the CTRC-AACR San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.
Several Special Conferences (150-500 attendees) are held each year that focus on emerging areas of cancer research and specific disease sites. Similar conferences are held overseas in conjunction with international cancer research organizations.
The AACR also conducts a unique series of educational workshops that offers young scientists the latest scientific information along with critical skills that include mentoring, networking and career development opportunities.
Coupled with a broad array of educational and career development sessions at the Annual Meeting and membership in the Associate Member Council (AMC), younger researchers are prepared for the next vital steps in their careers.
