What’s on the Agenda?
To cure more children and adolescents with cancer, we need to rethink how innovation reaches them.
The ACCELERATE Annual Conference 2027's theme is: Time to shake up the system in Paediatric Cancer innovation
- Harness the changing regulatory landscape, advances in paediatric cancer biology, established and growing databases and preclinical assets, and emerging AI to drive innovation.
- Build on the commitment of academic, regulator, industry and advocate communities and the proven value of global, multistakeholder collaboration to challenge the status quo.
- Accelerate the prioritisation and delivery of innovations for children and adolescents with cancer.
Over two days we will work together to acknowledge today's reality, call for a shift, challenge the system and drive action.
