It's CancerCon Time!

πŸŽ‰ πŸ€— πŸ”₯ IT'S CANCERCON TIME πŸŽ‰ πŸ€— πŸ”₯

In 2008, a scrappy battalion of AYAs put a stake in the ground and created the world’s first conference and trade show for young adult cancer. We called it the OMG! Cancer Summit for Young Adults, and it was more than a revolutionary event; it was proof that our lives and our voices mattered.

New York (2008-2011) – OMG

Las Vegas (2012-2014) – OMG

Denver (2015-2019) – CancerCon rebrand

Pandemic Geography (2020-2024)

For the first time since 2011, CancerCon returns to the East Coast.

August 21 – 24, 2025

The Capital Hilton

Washington DC

Registration is still open. Seats are still filling. I will be there.

The agenda is stacked with an experience that doesn’t just fill time. It sparks action. It connects survivors, advocates, and allies in ways that change lives. And right now, when the headlines remind us that young adult cancer rates are climbing, we cannot afford to let momentum fade.

If you live in the DC, Virginia, or Northeast corridor, you still have time. Make the trip. Meet your people. Be part of the movement that refuses to let young adults with cancer get lost in the system.

This event is my baby. It has carried the weight of a generation of fighters, survivors, caregivers, and agitators. I am proud of the legacy it carries forward. I want you to see it for yourself.
