Host a World Cancer Congress
Hosting the World Cancer Congress offers the unique opportunity for an organisation to welcome the global cancer community in their country.
Host organisations of the World Cancer Congress have also benefitted from unparalleled networking and partnership opportunities and increased their visibility with governments, international organisations, NGOs, cancer affiliations, patient support groups, research institutes, care centres, academia and the corporate sector.
Hosting the World Cancer Congress: Expression of Interest
The opportunity to host a future edition of the World Cancer Congress is open to members of the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). Expressions of interest may be submitted by one or more UICC member organisations working in the field of cancer control, in collaboration with and supported by a congress centre and the relevant national or city convention bureau.
“Hosting the Congress was an excellent opportunity to advance our work in cancer control and strengthen our collaboration with the Government of Malaysia. Examples include the commitment to work towards a tobacco control act, reinforce universal health coverage and adopt a fully funded, resourced national cancer control plan.”
