The AACR is aware that one or more unauthorized companies are using deceptive advertising methods to direct users to fraudulent websites that purport to offer housing and registration for AACR meetings. Please note that the information listed below is the only official AACR process for reserving a hotel room or booking travel, and the information on the meeting registration page is the only location to register for the meeting. The AACR cannot guarantee your registration, housing, or travel if you purchase using an illegitimate website.

The AACR Oncology Industry Partnering Event will take place immediately before the AACR Annual Meeting 2025 at the McCormick Place West Building in Chicago. We strongly encourage those planning to attend the AACR Oncology Industry Partnership to book their housing and travel through the official housing website below
