ISPNO has grown into the largest and most important scientific meeting focused on paediatric central nervous system tumours.  ISPNO welcomes attendees from around the world, with delegates from more than 50 countries at the last ISPNO. It attracts clinicians and researchers from a wide range of disciplines including neuro-oncology, neurosurgery, radiation oncology, neurology, neuropathology, neuroradiology, neuropsychology, neuroscience, rehabilitation medicine, nursing, and more, as well as advocates and supporters of the paediatric neuro-oncology community.   ISPNO 2026 promises to be an amazing opportunity to meet experts in the field, learn about cutting-edge science, launch new collaborations, and catch up with colleagues and friends. 

ISPNO 2026 will be hosted by the Children’s Cancer Institute, Australia and the Kids Cancer Centre at Sydney Children’s Hospital. The symposium will include a comprehensive scientific program covering the latest preclinical, translational, and clinical research covering all areas of paediatric neuro-oncology - diagnostics, treatment and clinical trial advances, novel drug delivery systems, biomarkers, preclinical models, tumour microenvironment, imaging, outcomes, and late effects. There will also be an Education Day, nursing sessions, keynote lectures, and panel discussions on challenging issues in the field.

Traveling to Sydney, Australia for ISPNO 2026 offers the opportunity for both professional development, as well as the chance to experience Australia’s unique wildlife, landscape, beaches and indigenous culture. As Australia's largest city, Sydney serves as a convenient gateway for exploring the rest of the country, including other major cities, the Aussie Outback, and unique wildlife experiences.
