2015 International Meeting: Translating Science Into Survival

Announcing the Inaugural International Cancer Immunotherapy Conference

The Cancer Research Institute (CRI), the Association for Cancer Immunotherapy (CIMT), the European Academy of Tumor Immunology (EATI), and the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) are proud to join forces to sponsor the Inaugural International Cancer Immunotherapy Conference, which will take place at the Sheraton Times Square in New York City on September 16-19, 2015.

Entitled “Translating Science into Survival,” the meeting will feature more than 60 talks by acknowledged leaders in the field covering all areas of inquiry in cancer immunology and immunotherapy including:

  • immune regulation of T cell responsiveness
  • genomic methods for identifying tumor antigens
  • the tumor microenvironment
  • T cell therapies
  • checkpoint blockade
  • biomarkers
  • combinations
  • microbiome

This meeting will provide an unparalleled opportunity for teaching, learning, and networking among all stakeholders in the field: scientists, clinicians, regulators, drug developers, and patient advocates.

This collaborative meeting will be held every other year, in lieu of each organization’s individual meeting, and will alternate between the United States and Europe. We believe that by combining our efforts we can be more effective and efficient in disseminating the latest cutting-edge information.
