Research events and conferences
As well as hosting our own events and conferences, our research funding, strategy and partnerships teams attend and exhibit at a range of conferences, meetings and workshops throughout the year.
We find this invaluable in meeting researchers and potential partner organisations to discuss opportunities to work with us. If you have any feedback about the events or information you’d like to see here in the future, or would like to arrange a meeting with our staff at these events, please do get in touch.
The Cancer Prevention Research Conference
Date: 25-27 June 2024
Location: Boston, USA
This event will feature sessions exploring health inequalities in cancer incidence and prevention, mechanistic insights in prevention strategies, precision prevention in high-risk populations.
The focus of this conference will be on primary prevention, and it aims to bring together researchers from discovery biology through translational and behavioural science to population and implementation research.
If you have any questions, please email us.
Brain Tumour Conference 2024
Date: 24 - 26 September 2024
Location: Park Plaza London Riverbank
Our flagship brain tumour conference is returning to unite international experts in brain tumour research and allied disciplines to showcase new discoveries and spark opportunities for collaboration.

Guiding principles for our research events and conferences
Our research events are designed to showcase cutting-edge science, bring together an international scientific community and facilitate collaborations.
We've prioritised embedding equality, diversity and inclusion, health and safety, patient and public involvement and environmental sustainability across all our research activities.
Contact our events team
If you are organising an event of interest to our cancer research community, or you would like to invite CRUK staff to attend or speak at an event, please get in touch.
We also have a number of resources that can help CRUK Centres, Institutes and investigators with the organisation, marketing and delivery of meetings and conferences. Talk to our Events team to find out more about what we can do for you.
