Neuroblastoma Parent Symposium
An invaluable opportunity for families affected by neuroblastoma to hear directly from leading experts, ask the questions that matter to them, and feel more informed and supported.
What is the Neuroblastoma Parent Symposium?
An annual event open to anyone affected by neuroblastoma, the Neuroblastoma Parent Symposium provides trusted information from world-leading experts and the chance to connect with others who understand this journey.
The Symposium also welcomes members of the international scientific and clinical community, bringing together families with those caring for children with neuroblastoma or working to improve outcomes for children affected by the disease.
The symposium offers:
- expert presentations on treatment, care, and emerging research
- contributions from parent advocates, sharing their lived experiences to provide insight, understanding and hope
- sessions focused on emotional wellbeing, practical support, and what families often face throughout and after treatment
- panel discussions with opportunities to ask questions and hear from both professionals and other parents
- chances to meet and connect with families going through similar experiences
Whether you are newly diagnosed, in treatment, post treatment, or bereaved, the symposium is a welcoming and supportive space - held either virtually or in person - and we hope you leave feeling informed, empowered and hopeful.

Video resources
We record all symposium sessions each year, to create a growing video library that families affected by neuroblastoma can access at any time. This helps us to reach those unable to attend live and ensure parents can revisit helpful content whenever they need it.
The video library covers a wide range of neuroblastoma‑related topics, including an introduction to the disease, current treatment approaches, emerging research, and psychosocial support. Visit our YouTube channel to see the full library, organised into themed playlists to help you find the information and support most relevant to you.
