A small group session during One Rb World 2017 in Washington D.C.
Welcome to One Retinoblastoma World 2024 in Honolulu, Hawaii.
- Informal Social Day: Monday, October 14, 2024 – not part of the official program.
- Survivor and Family Focused Programming: Tuesday, October 15, 2024
- Full Scientific Program: Wednesday, October 16, 2024 and Thursday, October 17, 2024
Awareness, medical care, and family support are vital to effective care of children with retinoblastoma. Removing any of these three elements dramatically reduces a child’s quality of life and chance of survival. Beyond cure, lifelong care is vital for individuals and families with complex impacts and risks from this cancer.
One Retinoblastoma World is a global network with the bold idea that all children with retinoblastoma and survivors can have equal opportunity to access optimal care. When diagnosed early and treated effectively, childhood eye cancer is curable. No child or survivor should die or experience avoidable suffering because of it.
Providing unique educational and networking opportunities, this working meeting focuses on building connections and collaborations to enhance care for all children, survivors, and families. Engaging clinicians, researchers, families, and survivors together creates shared learning and novel partnerships for real-world progress. We look forward to meeting you there!
We encourage all professionals, scientists, survivors and family members to attend all three days of the program for maximum benefit. Full participation will help everyone understand all aspects of retinoblastoma more deeply, and nurture a stronger global community.
Family & Survivor Day Program
Our Family and Survivor focused programing will include a mix of presentations, panel discussions, and small group breakout sessions covering a range of topics, with plenty of networking time to meet and chat with others. Speakers will include parents, survivors, medical professionals and others.
Coming together with others who are impacted by retinoblastoma is deeply healing and immensely uplifting. Sharing experiences and knowledge, friendship, laughter, hugs and hope, and sometimes tears.
The day will culminate in an evening reception opening the two-day scientific program.
Scientific Program
We are currently planning a full, diverse, and engaging program. Each session will be facilitated jointly by a medical professional and a parent or survivor. 2-3 speakers, identified for their expertise in the field, will deliver short talks that cover a range of perspectives before we open the floor for discussion and small group work to engage the entire delegation.
Breakout sessions will allow more in-depth discussions on specific topics. A space where small groups of professionals, scientists, parents, and survivors can share knowledge and experience, and collaborate to tackle some of the biggest challenges in retinoblastoma.

Joining the Global Paediatric Oncology Community
In-person meetings of One Rb World take place immediately before the world congress of the International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP). In 2024, the 56th SIOP World Congress will be held 17-20 October at the Honolulu Convention Centre.
SIOP is the most significant global conference for professionals working in childhood cancer, combining the annual meetings of five global professional organizations, and the world congress of Childhood Cancer International, the world’s parent and survivor advocacy organization. Parents and survivors can register for SIOP with access to the full professional program, including tracks focused on paediatric oncology nursing, paediatric psycho-oncology, paediatric oncology in developing counties, and parent/survivor advocacy. There is no child care provision at the meeting.
Please note, the congress website currently promotes this year’s congress in Ottawa, Canada, which takes place 11-14 October, 2023.
