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 Liquid Biopsies 2026:

• Solo Travellers' Meet-up
• Networking Session 1
• Welcome Reception
• Poster Discussion Sessions
• Networking Session 2
• Exhibition
• Conference Dinner

Solo Travellers' Meet-up

Tuesday 22 September, 14:50-15:20

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 at the registration desk 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.

Networking Session 1

Tuesday 22 September, 17:00-17:30

Further details to be announced very soon!

Welcome Reception

Tuesday 22 September, 17:30-18:15

A welcome drinks reception will be held on Tuesday evening to give participants the opportunity to meet new colleagues and reconnect with friends. A light buffet will be served for all participants and exhibitors to enjoy. The trade exhibition will be open at this time, and there is the opportunity to continue networking and view posters.

Poster Discussion Sessions

Tuesday 22 September, 18:15-19:45
Wednesday 23 September, 13:30-15:00

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 on Tuesday and Wednesday, there will also be additional poster viewing opportunities each morning from 08:15 where posters can be freely browsed.

Networking Session 2

Wednesday 23 September, 18:00-18:30

Further details to be announced very soon!

Exhibition

Alongside fantastic scientific content, this conference will feature a small industry exhibition held within the poster area. The exhibition is an opportunity for researchers and companies working in fields relevant to the conference topic to connect and network. Visit the stands during the programme breaks and meet friendly product experts to find out how they can help with your current or upcoming projects.
