2020 AACR Virtual Annual Meetings 

On April 6, due to the rapid escalation of the COVID-19 pandemic, the AACR Board of Directors made the decision not to move forward with an in-person Annual Meeting in August, and instead to present segments of the meeting program in two AACR Virtual Annual Meetings:

• April 27-28, 2020: AACR Virtual Annual Meeting I 
• June 22-24, 2020: AACR Virtual Annual Meeting II 

Please read the full statement and the FAQs. 

The AACR Virtual Annual Meeting I content will remain available until the beginning of the AACR Virtual Annual Meeting II. Currently, the Poster Session videos and single videos containing all of the sessions broadcast on each channel are available for on-demand viewing. Individual session videos will be posted to the platform for on-demand viewing at a later date.

Media Registration

The AACR provides complimentary meeting registration to professional journalists for the express purpose of gathering news and information to produce media coverage of the meeting. If you registered as press for the original in-person April 2020 Annual Meeting or Virtual Annual Meeting I, you will be automatically registered as press for Virtual Annual Meeting II. Journalists must register as press to receive embargoed meeting materials.
