Information for Nonmember Patient Advocates

Patient advocates may register to attend the ASCO Annual Meeting at a reduced rate; approved patient advocates may select to receive a free online only registration. This reduced registration category is reserved exclusively for patient advocates and is not intended for medical professionals. There is no onsite approval for the patient advocate rate; advocates must register in advance.

Patient Advocates who are active Members of ASCO will automatically receive the patient advocate discount when using the registration website. Nonmember Patient Advocates interested in registering at this rate will need to submit a CV or bio-sketch via email at patientadvocates@asco.org.

Individuals interested in registering under this category either work or volunteer for national or international not-for-profit patient advocacy organizations that:

• Demonstrate a charitable mission
• Engage in patient advocacy activities
• Provide programs, services, information, and/or support for people affected by cancer
• Have a nonprofessional membership
• Do not offer continuing medical education (CME) or scientific programs for professionals.

Additionally, advocates not affiliated with a national or international not-for-profit organization may also be eligible to register at the patient advocate rate, based on their advocacy role and experience.  Please submit a CV or bio-sketch via email at patientadvocates@asco.org.
