The NCI Data Jamboree: Enhancing Data Sharing and Utility to Advance Cancer Research, organized by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) will take place on 16–18 November 2026 at the NIH Neuroscience Center Building in Rockville, Maryland.

This interactive event will bring participants together in collaborative teams to address challenges in accessing, harmonizing, visualizing, integrating, and analysing cancer research data, including its quality, reproducibility, and AI readiness. Researchers, students, patients, advocates, citizen scientists, and professionals from relevant scientific and clinical fields are invited to participate as project leads or project seekers; computational expertise is not required. In-person participation is preferred, although virtual and hybrid teams are permitted. Registration and project submission are both required by 27 July 2026, and participants are responsible for their own travel costs.
