Innovation is at the heart of community oncology. Independent community oncology practices offer advanced cancer care treatments and clinical trials, create new delivery models, and offer novel patient services that ensure the highest quality care at lower costs. As innovation happens daily, it’s up to us to ensure all patients benefit from it.

That’s why Innovation in Practice is the theme for the Community Oncology Alliance’s (COA’s) 2026 Community Oncology Conference. Independent community oncology practices care for patients across the country in rural towns, big cities, and everywhere in between. At these locations, patients can get the latest cancer treatments and benefit from innovations and clinical trials. The current challenge is – how do we ensure all patients can access this care?

The 2026 Community Oncology Conference touches on all aspects of innovation, including practical applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the impact of health policy changes, access to innovative next generation therapies in independent practice, and engaging with payers on new models of cancer care. You’ll hear from the country’s leading experts and your peers about their perspectives on the state of innovation in 2026.

Share your successes and learn about innovation happening across the country, gain the knowledge to succeed, and network with leading experts at the 2026 Community Oncology Conference on April 28 – 29, in Orlando, Florida.

We invite all community oncology physicians, pharmacists/pharmacy techs, nurses/advanced practice providers, practice administrators/leaders, oncology/hematology fellows, policy or patient advocates, and industry stakeholders who support us. The 2026 COA Conference has valuable information for everyone at your practice.
