About the Conference
The 2022 AICR Research Conference will be held as a hybrid event on October 31-November 2, 2022, with both a fully virtual option and an in-person program held at the Lansdowne Resort and Spa in Leesburg, VA.
Please note, all in-person attendees must be fully vaccinated according to CDC recommendations, as of October 2022. Further details on COVID safety procedures will be available closer to the conference date.
We are hosting our annual conference in a hybrid format, featuring both virtual and in-person components. In-person attendance will be very limited to facilitate adequate physical distancing of attendees- register today to reserve your spot!
This activity has been approved by the Commission on Dietetic Registration for a total of 17.5 CPEU hours (14.5 CPEU lecture hours and 3 poster hours)
Poster abstract submission is now closed.
This three-day event will feature dynamic topics including:
- Trusted sources – Combating misinformation through effective evidence-based communication
- Enhancing cancer therapy through converging innovations in lifestyle and oncology research
- The role of lifestyle in the context of elevated genetic risk
- The research evidence to policy impact continuum – Developing and implementing cancer prevention, treatment and survivorship guidelines
…and much more!
The rising tide of COVID-19 infections necessitated the cancellation of the in-person component of the 2021 AICR Research Conference but the meeting was seamlessly transitioned to a fully virtual experience. The same incredible speakers and program were delivered and with the added advantage that the content was recorded and can be revisited!
Plenary sessions:
- Strength of Evidence—How do we assess it and when is it strong enough?
- Lifestyle Impact on Immunotherapy‚—Emerging roles of obesity, physical activity and diet on immunotherapy
- Cancers on the Rise—The impact of diet, nutrition and physical activity on the incidence of young onset colorectal cancer, liver cancer and childhood cancers
- What Can We Tell Our Patients?—Current knowledge, limitations and opportunities for reducing risk and improving outcomes through diet, nutrition and physical activity in cancer risk and survival
