Data-driven Cancer Research Conference 2026
Introduction and learning objectives
Our next Data-driven Cancer Research Conference is taking place at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre from 24-26 February 2026.
Since our last meeting in 2024, the complexity and volume of data has only grown. We’re expanding the conference to run over three days, giving us the chance to dive deeper into AI, quantum-enabled technologies, patient and public involvement and engagement and the application of cancer research data to personalise treatment and diagnosis.
One of our focusses at this year's conference will be children's and young people's cancers, to work together as a community and discover data solutions to shared challenges in this area.
This is a must-attend event for anyone working in cancer research, data science, bioinformatics, computational oncology, computer science, mathematics or statistics including those working at the interface between these disciplines. The event is open to researchers from all career stages from across the world.
Register your interest to make sure you hear when registration opens.
Guiding principles for our research events and conferences
