Organisations that have hosted the World Cancer Congress in the past have reported that the event has been invaluable in supporting their efforts to make cancer a priority in their national and regional health agendas.
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.
The call for expressions of interest to host the 2030 World Cancer Congress will be launched in 2027.
In the meantime, interested parties are invited to contact Ms. Celine Francina, Head of Congress and Events at UICC, by email at [email protected].
Past and recently awarded destinations and hosts may be found here.
Please note that any interest in hosting a World Cancer Congress has to be supported by a UICC full-member organisation and the city (i.e. city's convention bureau). The list of UICC full members list can be found on UICC's website here.
