Frequently asked questions

The Lung Summit is an education platform for healthcare professionals working in thoracic oncology — oncologists, pulmonologists, pathologists, radiologists, nurses and allied specialists. It is built around the annual International Lung Cancer Summit (ILCS) and gives you year-round access to congress sessions, expert webinars, featured symposia and articles. The platform is intended for healthcare professionals.

There are four membership types:

• Online Pass — free. Year-round online access to on-demand sessions, webinars and articles, for healthcare professionals, scientists, platform sponsors, regulatory and non-profit.
• Conference Badge — free. On-site attendance at the annual ILCS meeting for healthcare professionals, scientists, platform sponsors, regulatory and non-profit, plus the online content.
• Industry Pass — €165. Online access to the scientific content for non-sponsoring industry, media and agencies. One payment covers 12 months of access; nothing renews automatically.
• Industry Badge — €220. On-site attendance at ILCS for non-sponsoring industry, media and agencies, plus online access. One payment covers 12 months of access; nothing renews automatically.

When you register for a free healthcare-professional pass, we confirm your professional status. Most registrations are verified automatically from your professional email domain and details. If the automatic checks are inconclusive, our team reviews your registration by hand — and you are given immediate access to the platform while that review is in progress, so you are never left waiting. If we are unable to confirm your status, we will be in touch by email.

Many sessions are accredited for continuing medical education (CME). To claim, sign in and watch the session, then open your account page and find the Certificates panel, where you can request the certificate for that event. We check your attendance and email your certificate to you, usually within two working days. The number of credits depends on the session — for example, the ILCS 2026 meeting offers 5 CME credits accredited by the UEMS–EACCME, and a further 5 CME credits accredited by the Swiss Society of Medical Oncology (SGMO / SSOM / SSMO). Certificates can be claimed for up to six months after a session is published; after that, the claim window closes.

Sessions are available as on-demand video on each session page. You need a free account and to be signed in to watch, and some content is reserved for verified healthcare professionals. Create an account or sign in, open the session you want, and press play.

In accordance with Swiss and European regulations, we require some information about you for verification purposes to ensure that the content of our initiatives is aimed at healthcare professionals and those involved in the science, management and treatment of cancer. We never sell your details, and we do not share them with sponsors for marketing. The narrow exceptions — for example legally required safety reporting — are described in our Privacy Policy.

Access to all our sessions is free of charge for healthcare professionals, scientists or other staff from universities, hospitals & research labs as well as policy & non-profit organizations and sponsoring partners. Registrations by non-sponsoring industry representatives are subject to a fee.
