The Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Coalition (AYACC) 2025 Conference addresses critical improvements in care for vulnerable adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer populations.

This cross-professional event unites healthcare providers, researchers, nonprofit professionals, patient advocates, and support specialists to advance holistic approaches to AYA cancer care. The conference uniquely integrates implementation science with practical application, creating opportunities for multidisciplinary collaboration that extends beyond traditional oncology into comprehensive supportive care.

Through panel discussions, interactive breakout sessions, and facilitated networking, attendees will gain valuable tools and strategies to enhance care delivery in diverse settings, including community-based programs, hospitals, mental health practices, and survivorship support systems.

The conference will also feature the launch of the innovative AYACC Platform, designed to connect professionals and resources nationwide, and the prestigious Archie Blyer Trailblazer Award ceremony recognizing excellence in advancing AYA cancer supportive care.
