Conference 2016 Sponsorship and Exhibition Opportunities October 6-8, 2016, Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress, Orlando FL
Who we are FORCE was founded on the principle that no one should face hereditary cancer alone. As a seventeen year survivor of hereditary breast cancer, I know that confronting cancer risk can be a complex, confusing, and highly individual journey -- and FORCE can help navigate the uncharted waters by equipping you with resources, information, and support. Sue Friedman Founder and Executive Director of FORCE: Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered FORCE s Mission is: To improve the lives of individuals and families affected by hereditary breast, ovarian, and related cancers Joining FORCEs Against Hereditary Cancer is an international conference designed by and for people and families affected by hereditary cancer or genetic mutation associated with increased risk of cancer. This year our conference will be held in Orlando Florida at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress. The conference will have over 9,000 square feet of exhibit space and offer many opportunities for visibility and connection with the HBOC community.
