Over two days, you'll hear from inspiring speakers, share learning with peers, build valuable connections and celebrate the outstanding contributions being made across the cancer workforce.

Apply for a place
Our national conference is exclusively for Macmillan Professional Members. Attendance is free, and reasonable travel and accommodation expenses are covered.
Applications will open later this year. Places are allocated to ensure a broad representation of professions, roles and regions, and applicants will be notified following the review process in early 2027. If a place isn't available in the first round, you'll automatically be added to our waiting list.
Places are limited, so we ask that you only apply if you're confident you can attend both full days of the event.
Three reasons not to miss it
1. Discover ideas that make a difference
Hear from experts and peers who are improving cancer care across the UK. Leave with practical insights, innovative approaches and inspiration you can take back to your role.
2. Connect with a community that understands
Step away from the day-to-day and spend time with fellow Macmillan professionals. Share experiences, build your network and learn from others facing similar challenges.
3. Celebrate excellence and showcase your impact
Whether you're attending the Professional Excellence Awards, showcasing your work or supporting colleagues, you'll be part of celebrating excellence in cancer care.
