The HOPE Summit Experience

Highlights • The App • Inspiration

HOPE Summit offers a wide spectrum of activities and resources. You'll leave with news to talk over with your doctor, lifestyle tips, products and information from the Resource Fair, and much more—including a whole lot of new friends.

A Few Highlights

• We will soon be announcing this year's HOPE Summit Ambassadors, a very special group of HOPE Summit alumni who are lung cancer survivors or caregivers. They will be on hand as your personal guides to the Summit and a friendly ear before and during the event.
• Plans for the Patient Resource Fair are underway. It will feature many partners and vendors, specific oncogene groups, pharmaceutical partners, wellness resources, and more. Live demonstrations and talks will occur throughout the afternoon on Friday, May 2.

There's an App!

Our event platform, EventMobi, offers a fantastic app that will definitely enhance your conference experience.

The app, available as of February 1 to everyone who has registered, will contain information on agenda, speakers, and sponsors and enable you to ask questions to our speakers during sessions and fill out surveys. It will also have a map to help you find your way around on-site.

Once you have the app, you can add your picture and share information about yourself, so you'll start meeting people even before you are at HOPE Summit!

Check back in February to get the links to download the app.

Get Inspired

In the meantime, we hope you'll be inspired by these comments from a few of last year's attendees.

 

Having lung cancer can be very isolating, and it doesn't have to be that way. I never imagined I would make so many friends with other survivors.

—Brianne H.

 

To meet, socialize, share, and admire other survivors and thrivers meant that I could talk/share for the first time without shame or fear of rejection for what is unknown or feared by others.

—Jill H.

 

Having a new support group—resilient people who have firsthand experience and are surviving all stages of lung cancer (and can laugh)—is invaluable!

—Ann-Marie D.

 

I found another community within the lung cancer community. There is something for everyone. It's about learning, but also about finding that community and support.

—Wyatt D.

 

Meeting people with similar challenges and experiences is really where hope begins to grow. Come prepared to spend time getting to know others who are ahead or behind you on this journey with lung cancer.

—Angus P.

 

The vendor tables were staffed with so many caring wonderful people that I ended up missing a class because I got so caught up in conversations with them.

—Cindy N.

 

The vendors were wonderful and took time to speak with me about what they were offering and how it might help.
