About the SITC 31st Annual Meeting

SITC's 31st Annual Meeting provided a multidisciplinary educational and interactive environment focused on improving outcomes for current and future patients with cancer by incorporating strategies based on basic and applied cancer immunotherapy. The meeting consisted of cutting-edge research presentations by experts in the field, both oral and poster abstract presentations, and ample opportunity for structured and informal discussions, including important networking opportunities. In addition, the meeting included updates on major national and international initiatives coming from academia, government and industry, as well as important Society projects. Following SITC’s tradition of collaborating to advance the field, the 31st Annual Meeting featured numerous sessions collaboratively-developed with reputable organizations whose missions complement and align with that of SITC’s. An in-depth Value of Cancer Immunotherapy Summit, organized in collaboration with the American Society of Clinical Oncology, was prominently featured to discuss a crucial topic that impacts all cancer immunotherapy constituents, from researchers and clinicians to payers and cancer patients.
