April 9-11, 2025
Salt Palace Convention Center
100 SW Temple Street
Salt Lake City, Utah

This event is a unique opportunity for patients and caregivers to sit side-by-side with experts in the field and provide their voices in helping focus research priorities.

Together, patients, caregivers, advocates, doctors, researchers, and other experts worldwide will share knowledge, review the latest research, and agree on the most important areas to focus on. Patients and caregivers can participate in the sessions, learn about the latest research, and share their feedback and thoughts.

Your voice matters, and we want your participation. In addition to the same excellent community interaction offered at the Conference, patients and caregivers will have even more opportunities to interact with experts in the field. 

Outside of the Consensus on Research presentations, the Conference will include:

  • A once-daily patient and caregiver program
  • Ample networking opportunities
  • Dedicated patient and caregiver lounge
  • Welcome dinner and social, awards ceremony, entertainment, and more

General sessions will occur from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. MDT. Please note that some ad-hoc meetings may occur outside of this timeframe.

This year’s Conference is an effort between CCF’s International Cholangiocarcinoma Research Network (ICRN) and the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST)-Action: Precision-BTC-Network, part of the European Network for the Study of Cholangiocarcinoma (ENS-CCA).

At this Conference, attendees will hear from ten Working Groups on the latest CCA research. Click below to learn what a Working Group is and what they have been tasked with doing to help the community focus on the most pressing research needs.
