PCOC is an annual, in-person conference from The American Journal of Managed Care® (AJMC®). It brings payers, providers, pharmacists, and policy leaders together to tackle real-world challenges in cancer care delivery, access, and value.

PCOC 2027 takes place September 23-24, 2027, at the Conrad Nashville in Nashville, Tennessee.

PCOC is designed for oncology stakeholders, including:

• Payers: leaders from commercial health plans, Medicare, and Medicaid
• Providers: physicians, nurses, and other oncology specialists, such as social workers and nutritionists
• Pharmacists: health care professionals focused on patient treatment and prescription administration
• Policy leaders: professionals in academia and health care consulting who focus on care delivery costs and quality

Sessions focus on 4 areas: cross-stakeholder perspectives, access and strategy, care delivery innovation, and future-focused oncology. Topics include coverage and formulary decisions, guideline-driven care, oncology pathways, precision medicine, and policy shaping the future of cancer care. For more details on what will be covered, visit the full agenda at pcoc.AJMC.com once it is available.
