Introduction
On behalf of the EACR-AACR-SIC Special Conference 2017 Committee Chairs it is my pleasure to
invite you to participate in the second Special Conference - from Cancer Biology to the Clinic. The
conference will take place on 24 – 27 June 2017 in Florence, Italy.
Hosted by the European Association for Cancer Research (EACR), the American Association for
Cancer Research (AACR) and the Italian Cancer Society (SIC), the first Special Conference in 2015
surpassed all expectations in terms of attendance and scientific outcome.
In 2017, the conference will bring together cancer researchers and clinical experts, including those
focused on the development of new immunotherapeutics and targeted therapeutics. The Scientific
Programme will focus on the challenges of optimising immunotherapies and targeted therapies
across a wide spectrum of cancer types.
This Invitation to Industry (ITI) offers you a range of opportunities to achieve the highest level of
exposure to leading researchers and practising clinical experts in various disciplines within Europe
and beyond. A number of exciting marketing and promotional support items are available to help
raise your profile amongst this target audience.
As always, the Exhibition forms an integral part of the conference, ensuring that industry partners
will have the opportunity to directly interact with delegates seeking new approaches and solutions
to aid them in their daily practice.
We look forward to working with you and assisting you to identify and secure the opportunities
best suited to your participation in the EACR-AACR-SIC Special Conference 2017. We cordially invite
you to this unique event and look forward to greeting you in Florence!

Grants
UNRESTRICTED EDUCATION GRANTS
We are aware that some companies wish to express their support for the conference by providing
a grant to assist the education and professional development of cancer professionals. This
interest is often specifically directed towards supporting younger participants.
◼◼ Unrestricted Education Grants help to provide the most appropriate setting for participants
to learn about the latest developments by supporting the conference programme. The grants
support the meeting facilities and operational activities, helping to provide the most appropriate
setting for participants to acquire the latest knowledge and data, as well as networking and
holding discussions with their peers, etc. This is a major aid and advancement to the quality and
impact of the scientific programme.
We would be delighted to receive support for the conference by way of unrestricted education
grants. This invaluable support will be acknowledged in the Proceedings Book, on the conference
website and onsite, in the conference venue.
Note: Educational portions of the conference are designated as Continuing Medical Education (CME) activities. AACR
requires that commercial entities that support these activities comply with the Standards of Commercial Support of the
Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME).
Made-to-measure agreements
Made-to-measure agreements can be discussed to ensure your company’s objectives are
achieved. Please contact Bruno De Man to discuss and develop made-to-measure proposals
suited to your organisation’s needs.
