On 28 and 29 October 2026, ECL members met in Helsinki for the ECL 2026 Annual Meetings, hosted by the Cancer Society of Finland at their offices. The CEO Roundtable on 28 October brought together CEOs and senior staff from member organisations with the ECL Executive Board. After a recap of ECL’s past year and priorities for the year ahead, participants took part in four interactive sessions: member engagement, the Youth Ambassador strategy, ECL’s funding strategy, and AI in cancer care.

At the General Assembly on 29 October, members reviewed ECL’s finances, including the 2025 auditors’ report, the 2026 finance update and the 2027 draft budget. They also discussed the activities of the Board and Secretariat for 2026 and 2027, held elections for the ECL Board and on the membership of the Norwegian Cancer Society, and took decisions on ECL’s funding strategy and ethical guidelines. Members were also updated on the EU Multiannual Financial Framework, the European Conference on Tobacco or Health (ECToH 2026 in Milan and 2029 in Brussels), and ECL’s new branding and logo.

Below you can find the presentation shared during the meetings, along with photos from both days. The minutes of the General Assembly will be shared with members by the end of November 2026.
