Mar 29- Mar 31, 2026

The highlight of the Summit4CI is an annual conference that brings together up to 350 leading scientists, clinicians, students and economists with representatives from industry, patient groups, charities and government. The conference explores the latest progress in cancer immunotherapy from scientific, clinical, industry and patient perspectives, through internationally recognized speakers, scientific presentations, poster sessions, panel discussions an Oxford-style debate and networking opportunities.

San Diego, CA

Apr 17- Apr 22, 2026

The AACR Annual Meeting is the focal point of the cancer research community, where scientists, clinicians, other health care professionals, survivors, patients, and advocates gather to share the latest advances in cancer science and medicine. From population science and prevention; to cancer biology, translational, and clinical studies; to survivorship and advocacy; the AACR Annual Meeting highlights the work of the best minds in cancer research from institutions all over the world.

May 11- May 13, 2026

Every year, the CIMT Annual Meeting connects the global cancer immunotherapy community in the heart of Europe. As the largest not-for-profit annual meeting in Europe focused on cancer immunotherapy research and development, CIMT invites international participants for high-level scientific exchange, collaboration, and education.

Whistler, BC, Canada

May 17- May 20, 2026

This Keystone Symposia Conference will explore interactions between tumor cells and their surrounding microenvironment, examining both tumor-intrinsic and -extrinsic signaling programs that influence cancer progression and systemic host responses such as aging, cachexia, obesity, and immunity. The program will highlight innovative experimental and computational tools to study the tumor microenvironment (TME), with a focus on identifying tumor vulnerabilities, new therapeutic targets, and methods for patient stratification. A hands-on “data jamboree” workshop will showcase analytical tools developed by the NCI Human Tumor Atlas Network (HTAN) to analyze the TME.

This meeting will bring together experts in cancer biology, immunology, computational biology, chemical biology, and beyond, to catalyze cross-disciplinary collaborations and insights with clinical impacts.

Sissi, Crete, Greece

May 17- May 22, 2026

This Aegean conference on cytokine signaling in cancer aims to bring together outstanding experts in fundamental and translational cytokine research to foster collaboration and knowledge in understanding cancer etiology, pathogenesis, and response to immunotherapies, along with devising novel cytokine-specific diagnostic approaches and treatment modalities.

Memphis, TN

May 26- May 29, 2026

St Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Technical University of Munich are proud to host the ‘ImmunoMemphis’ symposium where the immunological community will come together in Memphis, Tennessee to discuss fundamental mechanisms of T cell differentiation, and how these insights can be translated into durable immunotherapies for cancer and chronic viral infections.

Topics will include conceptual and technical advances that are reshaping our understanding of T cell immunological memory, current barriers in establishing T cells with tissue/tumor-homing properties, resistance to local-immunosuppression, and the capacity for establishing disease control with long-term immunological protection.

Chicago, IL

Jul 12- Jul 15, 2026

This year’s program will continue that tradition of innovation by examining the structural and functional dynamics of immunoreceptors, their mechanisms of activation and regulation, and translational research driving new immunotherapeutic strategies. As key molecules that regulate immune responses, research into immunoreceptors has yielded precise and effective therapies, including checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-T cell therapies, and novel monoclonal antibodies.

Phoenix, AZ

Jan 24- Jan 27, 2027

This conference will gather immunologists, oncologists, technologists, and engineers from academia and industry focused on basic research and clinical translation with the goal of fostering interactions among stakeholders that do not normally interact. To achieves this the conference program will feature new approaches targeting innate cells, application of model systems that replicate aspects of human cancer to inform new therapeutic approaches, the application of protein engineering and materials science to bridge gaps in treatment along with the latest innovations regarding T cell state regulation and application of checkpoint therapy in the clinic.
