Looking forward to welcoming colleagues, friends, patient advocates, regulators, and industry partners to Houston this week for #IBCG26. The strength of IBCG has always been honest discussion, respectful disagreement, and a shared commitment to improving bladder cancer care. Excited for two days of focused work together. @UrogerliMD @pjhensley11 @AmirHorowitz @mouwlab @spsutkaMD @shilpaonc @AndreaNecchi @LAUrology_NL @karima_oualla @joanfundi @PGrivasMDPhD @marigfern @SpiessPhilippe @niyatilobo @ParamMariappan @paolo_gontero @BladderCancerUS @urotoday @IBCG_BladderCA @siadaneshmand @JoshMeeks @FaltasLab @WesKassouf @SimaPorten @BogdanaSchmidt @MarekBabjuk
20 years ago, IBCG started with a small group around a table. Later this month, friends and colleagues from around the world gather in Houston for #IBCG26. Two days around the table tackling some of the hardest questions in #BladderCancer, debating the evidence and challenging each other on where we go next. Looking forward to seeing you all! @UrogerliMD @spsutkaMD @LAUrology_NL @shilpaonc @mouwlab @pjhensley11 @AndreaNecchi @AmirHorowitz @PGrivasMDPhD @karima_oualla @SimaPorten @joanfundi @marigfern

Grateful for the chance to learn from this remarkable group of global leaders in bladder cancer. Very special seeing thought leaders from around the world come together to advance patient-centered cancer care. #AUA26 @IBCG_BladderCA @BladderCancerUS @WorldBladderCan @UroDocAsh @spsutkaMD
Proud to chair the 5th annual IBCG Bladder Cancer Forum at #AUA26 alongside an extraordinary group of global colleagues, thought leaders, and patient advocates committed to advancing care for patients with bladder cancer. What began five years ago as a vision for open, high-level, multidisciplinary dialogue has grown into one of the most engaging and collegial forums at the meeting. This year’s debates and discussions once again reflected the passion, expertise, and shared purpose of this community. My sincere thanks to all of the speakers, moderators, panelists, advocates, and attendees who made the session such a success. #AUA2026 @IBCG_BladderCA #BladderCancer @BladderCancerUS @WorldBladderCan
