The first conference was held in 2003 at Uganda Manufacturers Association, Lugogo (UMA hall), the 2nd conference was held in 2005 in Jinja at Jinja Nile Resort Hotel, the 3rd conference was held in 2007 at Hotel Africana. The 4th conference in 2009, the 5th conference in 2011, the 6th conference in 2013, and the 7th conference in 2015 all at Imperial Royale Hotel. In 2017, PCAU partnered with the Uganda Cancer Institute on its 50th anniversary and held the UCI – PCAU Joint International Conference at Speke Resort Hotel Munyonyo which brought together a wider audience in the Cancer and Palliative care world.
