About the CCI Conference
Childhood Cancer International’s (CCI) annual global conference has been held alongside SIOP’s Annual Congress for many years, reflecting their shared mission, values, and goals. CCI’s event is designed for patient organisations working to improve childhood cancer care, including parent organisations, survivor groups, childhood cancer support groups, and cancer societies. With over 100 participants from around the world, the CCI conference provides an excellent opportunity for knowledge sharing, networking, and connecting with those involved in childhood cancer.

About CCI
Childhood Cancer International (CCI) was founded in 1994 as an umbrella organisation for grassroots and national parent groups. Today, CCI is the largest patient support organisation for childhood cancer, representing over 214 member organisations across 100 countries and 6 regions. Its members include parent and survivor associations, childhood cancer support groups, and cancer societies.
CCI envisions a world where the challenges faced by children with cancer, survivors, and their families are fully understood and recognised by key stakeholders, political leaders, healthcare professionals, development practitioners, and the wider community. As the globally recognised voice of people with lived experience (PWLE), CCI collaborates with diverse stakeholders to ensure access to affordable, essential childhood cancer medicines and high-quality care worldwide.
About CCI and SIOP’s Partnership
SIOP is one of CCI’s closest partners. Together, we have run global digital campaigns to raise awareness, organised conferences at both regional and global levels, and engaged in joint advocacy initiatives. CCI draws on SIOP’s expertise in science and healthcare while providing the perspective of PWLE, including patients, caregivers, families, and survivors.
Because together, we can save more children’s lives.
