Both ASPO members and non-members are encouraged to attend the meeting. Attendees include students, research partners, community advocates/patient advocates, post-doctoral researchers, and faculty/staff members.

Registration for the meeting includes access to four symposia and four “Looking Back, Thinking Forward” sessions. The “Looking Back, Thinking Forward” sessions include a 15-minute presentation by a senior scientist, followed by three short presentations selected from submitted abstracts, as well as time for questions/discussion. The “Best of ASPO” sessions allow for 32 high-ranking abstracts to be selected for 15-minute oral presentations. We also have an invited keynote presentation, two award lectures, four to six Special Interest Group breakfast sessions, and a networking lunch.

Your registration includes breakfast & lunch on Monday & Tuesday, as well as light receptions on Sunday & Monday evenings.

 For students and early career researchers, ASPO places a priority on training sessions for early career members to encourage diverse new scientists to enter the field and to assist in their professional development.

A unique aspect of ASPO’s Annual Meetings is driven by its strong ties to NCI and the American Cancer Society due to its focus on the full breadth of cancer prevention and control. Sessions frequently underscore transdisciplinary interaction, an important theme of ASPO, facilitated by the multidisciplinary nature of ASPO meetings 

ASPO is committed to ensuring that our event is as accessible as possible for all attendees. We strive to provide a variety of accommodations for individuals with disabilities or other accessibility needs.
