World Bladder Cancer Patient Forum 2025: Explore the agenda and join us in Brussels

The World Bladder Cancer Patient Forum returns in 2025, and this year we are bringing the global bladder cancer community together in Brussels for a two-day event. On October 13, we host Advocates Day, a dedicated space for our member organisations to connect, collaborate, and shape the future of the coalition. On October 14, Public Day, patients, carers, advocates, healthcare professionals, and policymakers will gather for a full day of conversations that matter, led by and for people affected by bladder cancer.

A day to connect, learn and act: The Forum offers an open space to share lived experiences, discover the latest research and innovations, and explore how advocacy can drive change both nationally and internationally. The agenda is shaped with the patient voice at its heart, ensuring that every discussion is relevant and practical.

Two days to connect, learn and act:

The Forum agenda is built around the lived experience of people affected by bladder cancer and the real-world needs of the patient community. Over two days, participants will dive into topics such as:

• Organisational leadership and advocacy strategy
• Patient stories that drive change
•  Global awareness initiatives and campaigns
•  Latest developments in bladder cancer research
• Using evidence in advocacy: from data to impact
• Medicine pricing, access, and health technology assessments
•  Collaborative networking and cross-sector exchange

Why attend?

Since its first edition, the Forum has been a unique meeting place for the bladder cancer community. Previous events in Paris, Madrid and, most recently, Punta Cana have showcased how connecting patients, experts and advocates can lead to real change. Last year’s Forum featured inspiring stories, cutting-edge research discussions, and a shared commitment to improving care and outcomes.
