The SNO/ASCO CNS Metastases Conference —
Leveraging Multi-Sector Collaboration to Disrupt CNS Metastases — will be held August 8-10, 2024, at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel in Denver, Colorado.
Jointly sponsored by the Society for Neuro-Oncology and the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the scientific content of this unique event will offer outstanding keynote and plenary addresses on a range of timely topics on the complex and rapidly evolving area of CNS metastases. Topics to be addressed include basic and translational research, as well as a broad range of clinical practice topics including radiation therapy, surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy/immunotherapy, multimodality therapy and clinical trials. In addition to lectures from internationally recognized experts, conference participants will have opportunities to present their work -- and to learn about advances made by others -- through short oral presentation and scientific posters selected by the scientific review committee. The theme for this year’s conference is to bring together all the key stakeholders and leverage multi-sector collaborations to disrupt barriers and streamline therapeutic advances for patients with CNS metastases.
As an adjunct to the cutting-edge multidisciplinary science that will be presented, we expect the conference in Denver will provide an outstanding and unparalleled forum for networking and socialization with like-minded colleagues from around the world who are focused on advancing CNS metastases research and patient care, as well as the opportunity to interact with exhibitors from SNO’s industry and non-profit partners.
Also join us just before the start of the Conference for the Early Career Professionals and Young Investigators Workshop: Optimizing Team Dynamics in Neuro-Oncology for Best Outcomes. Register now for this complimentary workshop which promises to offer a unique opportunity to enhance your skills, expand your network, and contribute to your professional development in the field of neuro-oncology.
