2026 Lung Cancer Voices Summit

March 1-3, 2026

Washington, D.C.

COME JOIN US - YOUR VOICE MATTERS!

GO2 for Lung Cancer’s Voices Summit is the largest annual gathering of people with lung cancer, caregivers, medical professionals, and supporters. Over three days, we’ll learn, connect, and take action, culminating in direct advocacy with the federal government, the largest funder of cancer research.

WHY WE ADVOCATE

Since 2006, GO2 for Lung Cancer has mobilized thousands of advocates each year to speak with one voice and drive change in Washington.

Congress controls federal research funding which is why our elected leaders, Democrats and Republicans, need to hear from you. By sharing your stories, our community shows lawmakers why more funding is critical to accelerate progress and how policies—good and bad—shape access to affordable, high-quality healthcare.

When we come together with one voice, Congress listens!

This year, GO2 is proud to partner with organizations and advocates across the full spectrum of the lung cancer community - biomarker groups, research foundations, advocacy organizations, and patient-led initiatives - who share a common goal: to make our collective voice impossible to ignore.

Together, we are uniting around a single, powerful message to lawmakers and the public: continued investment in lung cancer research, awareness, and support saves lives.

By joining forces, these partners bring the depth and diversity of the community together in one place, ensuring that every perspective is represented and every voice is heard. This unprecedented collaboration not only amplifies our shared mission but demonstrates the strength, resilience, and expertise driving progress in lung cancer today.

At the 2026 Voices Summit, we’ll harness this collective energy to educate policymakers, inspire action, and build momentum for a future where everyone affected by lung cancer has access to the care, treatments, and hope they deserve. We are honored to partner in these efforts with:

• ALK Positive
• Biomarker Collaborative
• BRAF Bombers
• EGFR Resisters
• Exon 20 Group
• Happy Lungs Project
• International Cancer Advocacy Network
• Lung Cancer Foundation of America
• MET Crusaders
• NRG1 Energizers
• PDL1 Amplifieds
• The White Ribbon Project
