The ALK Positive Summit is a transformative three-day event where patients, care partners, oncologists, and researchers come together to connect, learn, and empower one another. This gathering is designed for anyone living with ALK-positive cancer, whether newly diagnosed or years into treatment.
Over the course of the weekend, attendees have the opportunity to:
- Connect with others who understand the journey
- Learn directly from leading experts about the latest advances in ALK-positive cancer
- Ask questions in a supportive and welcoming environment
- Explore future innovations in research and treatment
- Participate in wellness and community programs that strengthen the mind, body, and spirit
The Summit brings together lived experience and scientific expertise in a way that inspires hope, sparks meaningful conversations, and empowers every patient and care partner to take an active role in their care. It is a place to meet lifelong friends, gain clarity, discover new resources, and feel the strength of a community that truly understands.
This event is centered around you — the patient and care partner. Everything we do is grounded in supporting your journey, amplifying your voice, and providing the tools and knowledge that help you thrive.
