UK Conference Sept 2025

Our third national UK patient conference was held in September 2025 at the Radisson Red Hotel in London.

Be empowered with ALK+ lung cancer information you can rely on 

The Charity arranges a weekend conference each September for patients plus one where they hear from leading ALK+ experts and question them. Ample time is provided for delegates to socialise and exchange experiences.  The conferences are subsidised by pharmaceutical companies and are free to delegates. Traveling expenses are reimbursed.

The Chaity is pleased to acknowledge the financial contibutions towards the cost of the conference made by Callum Cobb, Blackwell Foundation (Helen Walsh), Takeda, Pfizer, Nuvalent, Roche Products Limited.  The sponsors had no control over the content of the meeting.
