Annual Report
2022

Welcome Letter

Welcome to the 2022 Annual Report! 2022 was a mix of old and new for IASLC. We were thrilled to return to in-person events and equally excited to welcome our new CEO Karen Kelly and many wonderful new staff members. It was a year focused on providing as much benefit as possible for our members.

IASLC's International and Multidisciplinary Membership

For more than four decades, IASLC members have led a worldwide movement to advance the mission of conquering thoracic cancers across the globe. In 2022, at events such as the World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC), the Asia Conference on Lung Cancer, the North America Conference on Lung Cancer, the IASLC CT Screening Symposium, and the Targeted Therapies of Lung Cancer Meeting, lung cancer specialists accessed the latest research and scientific discoveries in thoracic oncology, allowing them to advance their profession through education and development opportunities.

Education and Conferences

IASLC strives to provide quality education and networking opportunities to our members, and 2022 was no exception. We returned to in-person events with WCLC 2022 in Vienna, followed by NACLC 2022 and ACLC 2022. Our members were excited to get to see and share information with each other face-to-face. However, we didn’t leave all of our new-found expertise in hosting virtual events behind, as each event also had a virtual option. Some sessions were live-streamed for those who could not be there in person, and videos of the events were also made available on demand. As we move forward into 2023, we plan to continue providing both in-person and virtual options for our events, allowing everyone working to defeat thoracic cancers and malignancies access to the latest information and education in the field.
