Tigerlily Foundation Stages BEACON Symposium, 20th Anniversary Ball Oct. 24
Washington – October 19, 2026 -- Tigerlily Foundation will hold two events at the Grand Hyatt Washington on Saturday, October 24, 2026, marking 20 years of operations: the 4th Annual BEACON Symposium and the 20th Anniversary EmPOWER Ball.
BEACON Symposium runs 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. ET on clinical trials and drug pricing
The daytime program, titled "Transformation with Patients Leading in Healthcare," will run under the theme "From Access to Action: Scaling Patient-Led Solutions for an Equitable Future." It will gather patient advocates, healthcare leaders, providers and scientific experts.
Two topics anchor the agenda: building more equitable, community-centered clinical trials, and how drug pricing policies affect patients and access. Organizers say collaborative sessions are designed to move participants from identifying problems to contributing potential solutions.
