ONS 44th Annual Congress | April 11-14, 2019 | Anaheim, CA

The ONS Annual Congress brings 4,000 nurses together to learn about the newest treatments and symptom management strategies, expand their professional network, and advance their career. As the main point of contact with patients and their families, these nurses influence cancer care in all practice settings. 

Learn about our unique opportunities to engage in person with oncology nurses who are looking for education, products, and services that will help them improve cancer care.

Exhibit at Congress: Make your plans now to meet with oncology nurses who are leaders on the frontline of cancer care. Share how you can help them provide better patient care, advocate for their patients, take the next step in their career, or take care of themselves so they can be the best nurse they can be. Our learning hall is filled with partners from industry, patient advocacy groups, employers and recruiters, and more. Join this group of oncology leaders who support oncology nurses and improve patient care. 

Become a Sponsor: Put your name and logo in front of thousands of oncology nurses and others in the oncology field through Congress sponsorship opportunities. Congress gives you the visibility you need to put your organization front and center. Whether your goal is to increase brand recognition, drive traffic to your booth, or send your company’s message home with each attendee, you will find what you need to meet your goals at Congress. We have a variety of new opportunities available, but if you don’t see what you’re looking for, contact us about creating a custom package to help you make the greatest impact in Anaheim, CA. 

Hold an Event: Holding an event at Congress connects you to the nurses who are the main point of contact for patients with cancer and their loved ones. They manage the symptoms of cancer and its treatment, provide patient education, and serve as a consistent point of communication and care throughout the cancer continuum.

• Symposia Events: Host a breakfast, lunch, or dinner presentation to share valuable knowledge with attendees, while providing them with the opportunity to network with other nurses. Symposia can offer CNE or be information.
• Theater Presentations: Take advantage of this opportunity to offer non-CNE presentations to attendees during learning hall time.
• Ancillary Events and Meeting Space: Find out how you can hold a smaller on- or off-site event or set aside space for internal staff meetings or speaker ready rooms.
