The International Chordoma Research Workshop (ICRW) is where the chordoma research community comes together to share the latest science, spark collaborations, and help set priorities for the field. You’ll meet researchers, clinicians, and industry partners from around the world, eager to unite to accelerate progress against this disease.
The scientific program spans basic biology through clinical research, with a mix of plenary talks, interactive discussions, and a poster session, plus plenty of time to connect informally between sessions.
ICRW begins with an evening welcome reception (Wednesday September 16, 2026), followed by a two-day scientific program (Thursday–Friday September 17-18), and capped with a dinner alongside members of the chordoma patient community (Friday, September 18).
Registration & agenda
Registration will open in the coming months, and a detailed agenda is in development. Sign up for our newsletter to be notified as soon as registration opens and new details are posted.
To get a sense of what to expect, see 2023 ICRW agenda for examples of the topics covered.
Submit an abstract
In the spirit of facilitating rapid data sharing within the chordoma research community, all participants are encouraged to submit one or more abstracts describing the results of their work. Abstract submission will open in 2026.
Travel and lodging
September is one of the best times to visit Boston, with comfortable weather and the first signs of fall. The hotel and venue are situated in a lively, walkable neighborhood.
