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 the EACR conference on The Tumour Ecosystem: Cellular Interactions and Therapeutic Opportunities.

• Networking Quiz
• Welcome Reception
• Poster Discussion Sessions
• Meet the Expert
• Conference Dinner

Networking Quiz

Tuesday 19 March, 17:15 - 17:45
Conference participants will be invited to get to know conference speakers and organisers plus other conference attendees in a relaxed atmosphere. Our fun, informal quiz offers conference participants the chance to make new connections on the first evening of the meeting.

Welcome Reception

Tuesday 19 March, 17:45 - 18:30
A complimentary buffet dinner will be served for all participants and exhibitors to enjoy on Tuesday evening. Why not take the opportunity to make new connections in an informal setting! The trade exhibition will be open at this time, and Poster Discussion Session 1 will follow at 18:15.

Poster Discussion Sessions

Tuesday 19 March, 18:30 - 20:00
Wednesday 20 March, 13:15 - 14:45

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

Meet the Expert

Wednesday 20 March, 17:45 - 18:15
This informal and interactive session will be a great opportunity for participants to gain insight and advice from several of our outstanding speakers including Neta Erez, Leila Akkari, Ruth Scherz-Shouval and Jean Albrengues.

Conference Dinner

The Conference Dinner will take place on the final night of the meeting at the atmospheric Ristorante Taverna Valtellinese, a short walk from the conference venue. It will be an excellent opportunity for participants and speakers to get to know each other in a relaxed and informal environment.
