SUPPORT OPPORTUNITIES
The AACR welcomes support from corporations, foundations, and other organizations that share its mission to prevent and cure cancer and that are interested in helping to defray the costs of presenting this important international meeting on cancer research. Numerous benefits are provided in recognition of their generous financial assistance.
A wide array of support opportunities is available, ranging from $1,500 to $150,000. These relate to support for many of the components of the scientific program (Plenary Sessions, Symposia, Forums, New Concepts in Organ Site Research Sessions, Methods Workshops, Educational Sessions, etc.), as well as the Program, Proceedings, and other Annual Meeting publications, the popular Internet Cafe, the conference bag, social events such as coffee breaks, the Annual President’s Dinner, and much more. Please see our Support Opportunities Brochure for pricing of individual events.
