FAQ

Cancer affects everyone – the young and old, the rich and poor, men, women, and children. We have all been touched by cancer, whether personally or through family, friends, neighbors, or colleagues. Cancer does not discriminate, nor should the system in place that aims to fight it.

This is why we created GVCC. In 2019, we held the first conference. We brought together the collective voices of more than 3,000 patients, survivors, caregivers, non-profits, healthcare providers, hospital systems, and biotech/pharma professionals from across the globe. 

Together, we continue to work towards solving the most pressing problems facing people affected by cancer.  Our goal is to expand the conversations around how we can create a new standard of trust and respect – where everyone’s ideas and experiences matter.

EVERYONE! Since cancer touches the lives of so many directly or indirectly, we welcome everyone to attend this FREE virtual conference!

Anyone impacted by cancer would like to play a role in transforming the outcomes of people facing cancer and would like to participate in conversations around how we can create a new standard of trust and respect – where everyone’s ideas and experiences matter. You can be a patient, survivor, caregiver, non-profit community member, healthcare provider, medical or industry professional, policy maker, activist, member of the media, etc.

You will have access to the GVCC Virtual Lobby, Exhibit Hall, Chat Rooms, Connection Corner, and Sessions from Wednesday, November 2nd through Saturday, November 5th, 2022, using any standard web browser. We recommend attending the conference from a desktop computer or laptop for the best experience.

GVCC is hosted on www.gvcc22.com, and live sessions take place on a Zoom platform. A chat function is available during programming for you to interact with other attendees and the speakers..

GVCC offers a way for everyone to participate in and enjoy the same benefits of a physical conference without travel, exposure, or expense.

In 2021, the Connection Corner was created to be totally unique to GVCC! Stop in between sessions to answer questions, leave a note, and use your voice along with the thousands of other GVCC attendees on the different Connection Corner virtual bulletin boards.

GVCC features a virtual Exhibit Hall of our partners and non-profit patient advocacy organizations to highlight their resources and provide a chance for you to chat with them one-on-one through a chat function.

A wide range of inspiring and renowned experts will address topics critical to improving cancer-related outcomes and experiences, focusing on empowering you through connection, education and advocacy.

GVCC is FREE! There is no cost to you!
