West Coast Conference on Work & Cancer

Cancer and Careers will hold it's 12th annual West Coast Conference on Work & Cancer virtually on Saturday, October 17, 2026! This free, daylong event explores the complexities of balancing treatment and recovery with employment and is open to patients, survivors, caregivers, healthcare professionals, employers, advocates, HR professionals and anyone else touched by cancer.

We know that not everyone has access to reliable technology in their home, which is why for this event we offer our Technology Assistance Program (TAP). This application-based program for cancer patients and survivors awards (1) laptop (such as a Chromebook or similar device) to a limited number of recipients. Applications for the 2026 program have now closed. To read more about the program and sign up for future notifications, click here.
