Networking opportunities

At the EACR, we know that conferences are about more than just hearing the latest research. Our events are well-known for providing excellent opportunities for networking, interaction and discussion. Here are some of the features you can look forward to at Defence is the Best Attack: Immuno-Oncology Breakthroughs:

• Solo Travellers' Meet-up
• Welcome Reception
• Poster Discussion Sessions
• Conference Dinner
• Panel Discussion: Mechanisms of acquired resistance to immunotherapies

Solo Travellers' Meet-up

Tuesday 13 May 2025, 15:10-15:40

We know that many of our participants are solo travellers and it can sometimes be a bit difficult to settle into the conference ‘vibe’ after a long day of travelling.  We know exactly how that feels after our own travelling experiences so if you fancy meeting up with like-minded people, please meet up by the EACR Conference Banner after grabbing a coffee and a snack.  This is not a structured event, just an informal opportunity for you to meet other participants who have travelled solo for a chat.

Welcome Reception

Tuesday 13 May 2025, 18:50

A complimentary buffet will be served on the Terrace for all participants to enjoy on Tuesday evening. Why not take the opportunity to make new connections in an informal setting! Poster Discussion Session 1 will follow at 19:30.

Poster Discussion Sessions

Tuesday 13 May, 19:30-21:00
Wednesday 14 May, 18:00-19:30

There are two dedicated 90-minute Poster Discussion Sessions in the programme. At these times, the presenters for that session should stand by their posters to discuss their work with other participants and invited speakers. As well as the dedicated sessions, there are also additional poster viewing opportunities at the beginning of each day when posters can be freely browsed.

Conference Dinner

Wednesday 14 May, 20:30-23:00 (Optional ticketed event)

The Conference 'buffet' Dinner will take place on the final night of the meeting. It will be an excellent opportunity for participants and speakers to get to know each other in a relaxed and informal environment.
