Why you should attend AORTIC-Africa side event at ASCO 2025 Conference

By Miriam Mutebi

As the world prepares for the annual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Conference on 30th May 2025—the largest global gathering on cancer research and care— we have lined up an exciting African Organization for Research and Training in Cancer (AORTIC-Africa) networking side event.

We have tailored the AORTIC-Africa networking side event for you to meet experts, pioneers, and rising stars from across the globe working to transform cancer care across Africa.

Well…Because it is more than just a meet-and-greet. It is an incredible opportunity to forge new collaborations or learn about collaborative efforts for cancer control in Africa.

It is a chance to hobnob with legends of Africa; trailblazers who raised AORTIC-Africa and advanced cancer care in Africa.

It is a rare moment to connect with the young, bright minds of AORTIC and Africa, people passionately working to make a difference for our populations.

In deed the AORTIC-Africa networking side event at the ASCO Conference promises to be a powerful catalyst for progress in African oncology.

And of course…

It is a chance to get down, throw down, and bring your best moves in the spirit of Ubuntu. Because when we laugh and cry together, we must be able to dance together too.

A wise African man once said: Let the people dance; for in dance flows healing and life.

Oops. Did I just date myself? No harm done. Let is see who is got the better Amapiano, or Charleston.

ASCO Annual Meeting 2025 is slated to be held from May 30 – June 3, 2025 at Chicago, Illinois.
