Head & Neck Cancer Alliance Survivorship Symposium
Saturday, July 18, 2026Get your calendar ready. The Head & Neck Cancer Alliance and the American Head & Neck Society invite you to the 2026 Head & Neck Cancer Survivorship Symposium in downtown Boston.
Join us on Saturday, July 18, for a full-day event for patients, survivors, caregivers, and clinicians. Hear from medical experts, learn practical strategies for life after treatment, and connect with others who understand what you’re going through.
This event is offered in person and virtually, but there is real value in being there. Many attendees say it’s one of the few places they feel fully understood. That sense of connection is hard to replicate online.
The symposium is free to attend. In-person attendees receive breakfast and lunch. Travel, accommodations, and parking are not included.
Join us after the event for an optional Boston tour - by land and by sea! We'll be enjoying a one-hour trolley tour followed by a one-hour riverboat tour. This is free for patients, survivors, caregivers, and one guest. Additional attendees may join for a fee. Please note that a separate registration is required for this event.
We hope you’ll join us in Boston or online.

ATTENDING IN PERSON? JOIN OUR POST-SYMPOSIUM TOUR
Make the most of your time in Boston. Join us after the Symposium for a guided tour of the city—by land and by sea.
This is a chance to experience Boston without planning routes, buying attraction tickets, or navigating logistics. Just show up and enjoy. You’ll travel with fellow attendees, making it easy to continue conversations and build on connections from the day.
We’ll start with a narrated trolley tour through downtown, following the path of Revolutionary War history and some of the city’s most recognizable landmarks. From there, you'll be dropped off at Quincy Marketplace to browse for souvenirs, enjoy the view, or get a snack. Afterward, the trolley brings everyone back to the hotel.
This experience is designed to be simple, social, and worth your time. No stress, no guesswork—just a well-planned way to see the city and spend more time with people who get it.
Thanks to our sponsor's support, this tour is free for patients, survivors, caregivers, and one guest. Additional attendees are welcome to join for a deeply discounted rate of $25 per person.
Spots are limited. Details and registration are available above.
