HOPA Annual Conference 2024
20 Years of Optimizing Cancer Care
The world has changed a lot since 2004, and so has our understanding of cancer, with new technologies constantly improving treatment. But what hasn't changed is HOPA's commitment to putting patient care first, an ethos that our membership reflects. We have strived to optimize cancer care for the past 20 years, and commit to doing so for the next 20 years and beyond. And we couldn't have survived and thrived for the past 20 years without our members - this 20th anniversary conference is as much dedicated to each of them as it is to our profession and our patients.
Where better to celebrate this momentous milestone than Tampa, Florida? The State where HOPA was born, and where we've held the most annual conferences.
We're offering plenty of chances to gain CE credits, with 35 on offer, with 8 of those being BCOP credits. All of these CE sessions will be available on-demand after the conference via HOPA Learn. With 8 BCOP sessions, 6 Breakout Sessions, 17 General Sessions and One 4.0 CE pre-conference workshop (all about Critical appraisal of cancer research), there's so much to choose from that we didn't want anyone to miss out.
Experience the future, and celebrate the history, of Optimizing Cancer Care!

Claiming Credits
In order to claim your CE credits, you will first need to complete the necessary Pre-Tests in HOPA Learn. About a week before the conference, registered attendees will find the Annual Conference 2024 Live Bundle in their HOPA Learn account. There you can access the Pre-Tests and slide handouts.
Once you've taken the Pre-Tests, viewed slides, and attended your session, you will need to input the unique CE session code given during the session. You will then need to take the appropriate post-test, and session evaluation. After completing these steps, you will be able to submit for Credit Claim.
