Welcome to ROBOS ’26: Hot Topics in Oncology. This year’s conference is a rapid fire, comprehensive review of the latest breakthroughs in cancer care. From molecular diagnostics and predictive modeling (U.S. version), special populations and interventions to maximize outcomes to palliative oncology, this year’s symposium offers something for everyone.

Our keynote speakers this year are two internationally renowned experts in geriatric oncology. Lodovico Balducci, a 2025 inductee into Onc Live’s Giants of Cancer Care®, is widely recognized as the father of geriatric oncology. Ashley Rosko is the director of the multidisciplinary Cancer and Aging Resiliency Clinic (CARE) at The Ohio State University, one of the only clinics of this type in the country.

You won't want to miss this amazing opportunity to hear from 2 of the best in the field. Designed to appeal to oncologists of any specialty, ROBOS ‘26 promises to be the most comprehensive and inclusive symposium to date.

We will adjourn the conference at 12:30 on Saturday so that you and your family can enjoy North Carolina’s beautiful Outer Banks. Just 45 minutes from Norfolk International Airport (ORF) Kitty Hawk is easily accessed from anywhere in the country. The Hilton Garden Inn has recently completed a multimillion-dollar renovation and offers the perfect combination of waterfront relaxation and state of the art conference facilities.
