This event provides our youth members with an invaluable opportunity to learn from one another, and to network with leading professionals, including industry and clinicians, from around the globe.  In turn, the iCAN Research & Advocacy Summit offers the scientific community an opportunity to engage directly with children and parents, so that they may learn about the value and the importance of the influence of children on research, medicine, and innovation.

​

Since the inception of iCAN, an annual iCAN Research & Advocacy Summit has been offered to provide young people an opportunity to work with medical professionals, community leaders, scientists, and researchers in medicine, science, health, advocacy, and technology to improve the health and well-being of all children, especially those with chronic conditions and rare diseases.
