For the safety of our community during the current COVID-19 pandemic, AllyCon 2020 will be tranformed into a digital experience. 

The Alliance's first national conference was in 2002.

Attendance is open to all colorectal cancer patients and survivors, both in and out of treatment, their caregivers and family members. All attendees must register in advance through our online registration process.

VirtuAllyCon 2020 is free to attend, but you must register online. Click here to register.

The full schedule of the conference is on the Alliance website here. Within the Whova conference platform, see the link for the agenda for each day to view and add sessions you want to attend.

Go to each session Q&A to ask a question prior to or during a session. During each session, there may be opportunities to ask questions in real time.

NOTE: Due to time constraints, not all questions may be answered.
