About the forum

With the rapid spread of the coronavirus pandemic this is a timely review of the industry response to the crisis. Topics covered during the 6th Annual Immuno-Oncology Innovation Forum (IOIF) include development strategies and clinical trials, the challenge of finance and investment for biotechs. With the cancellation of major industry conferences, this digital event allows the Immune-oncology (IO) community to be updated on the most recent developments and to network with colleagues across the world using our online video meeting platform. We are keen to support our community and, with the virtual conference, can offer all the benefits attendees would usually expect.
