CGC 2026 Annual Meeting
Welcome to the 17th Annual Meeting of the Cancer
Genomics Consortium (CGC)
Dear Colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to invite you to the 17th Annual Meeting of the Cancer Genomics Consortium (CGC) scheduled for August 1-5, 2026 in Houston, Texas. The Program Committee is working hard to build an engaging program agenda focused on the latest scientific, technological, and medical advances in genomics and their application to clinical patient care.
The CGC 2026 Annual Meeting will kick off this year with the Unconference on Saturday afternoon and Sunday Morning. The scientific agenda will start on Sunday afternoon and go through Wednesday, with a lineup that includes keynote speaker presentations and invited scientific sessions from leading scientists and genomics professionals. Morning sessions will feature selected Case Study presentations, with additional platform abstract presentations throughout the meeting.

CGC 2026 will also offer many opportunities to connect with colleagues and industry partners, including poster sessions, round-table discussions, and coffee breaks. Please consider signing up for one of the Tuesday evening social events. Options include a line-dancing lesson, an escape room, and bowling.
The CGC remains committed to our Early Career members and will again host a special reception for trainees and those who have recently completed training on Monday evening, plus a meet up during Monday’s networking lunch.
This year’s conference will again be offered as a hybrid meeting with both in-person and online participation to maximize accessibility to a broader audience of scientific colleagues. We will also continue our commitment to reduced registration fees to promote participation by our colleagues in resource-limited nations.
Whether this will be your first time at CGC or your seventeenth, we look forward to your participation in August 2026!
On behalf of the CGC 2026 Scientific Program Committee,
Cate Paschal, PhD, FACMG
