Event details
Our Conference on Metastatic Breast Cancer has been providing people living with metastatic breast cancer and their families a safe, collaborative space to gather information and discover practical resources they need to make decisions for their physical and emotional health for almost 15 years. In 2020, we gathered virtually, but our information and support remain the same.
During our virtual conference, attendees participated in live sessions with leading medical experts and people living with MBC. Participants chatted with other attendees in one of our meet-up lounges, and interacted with exhibitors that had products and services just for them. Attendees also viewed pre-recorded sessions and chatted with speakers during our Meet the Expert sessions.
Sessions covered the latest medical updates specific to subtypes, managing symptoms and side effects, caregiving, resiliency, medical marijuana, and more.
