Cancer Policy & Advocacy Team (CPAT)

In-Person Symposium Registration

June 21 – 23, 2023

Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill

400 New Jersey Ave NW, Washington, DC 20001

The CPAT Symposium is an opportunity to network with other advocates, develop advocacy skills, and learn about cancer policy issues — all in support of NCCS’s mission of improving the quality of cancer care for everyone touched by cancer. Goals for Symposium participants are as follows:

  • Develop an in-depth understanding of survivorship legislation and visit Capitol Hill to share your story with legislators and advocate for the legislation.
  • Learn about topics including cancer rehabilitation, mental health, communication, and National Cancer Institute’s Office of Cancer Survivorship.
  • Participate in advocate-led activities with medical students from the CUPID (Cancer in the Under-Privileged Indigent or Disadvantaged) program.
  • Network with other advocates and engage with the NCCS team.

There is limited event capacity and registration will close when we reach capacity. This will not be a hybrid event and programming will only be available to those that attend. The $100 registration fee includes most meals and all programming.

We have reached event capacity for the 2023 CPAT Symposium. You may only register if you are a CUPID Program Participant or a Scholarship Recipient.
