The Margie & Robert E. Petersen Neuroendocrine Cancer Research Symposium is the premier meeting bringing together the world’s leading scientists to share the latest advances in neuroendocrine cancer research. Designed as a focused, in‑person event, the Symposium fosters meaningful scientific exchange, cross‑disciplinary collaboration, and provides a welcoming entry point for early career investigators to connect with the broader community.

The 2026 Symposium will take place November 16–18 at the Hotel Commonwealth in Boston’s Kenmore Square. A poster session and welcome reception will kick off the program on Monday evening, and the Symposium concludes Wednesday by early afternoon, allowing time for travel.

We hope to see you there!
