Professional symposiums and conferences

From time to time, Cancer Council Queensland will list symposiums and conferences run by other organisations, that are related to cancer, on this page. These symposiums and conferences are not managed by Cancer Council Queensland and therefore Cancer Council Queensland may not endorse all of the content provided at these sessions.

All details for the events listed should be found on the organisations own websites, and any questions referred to them.
