History
Founded in 2016 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the International Invasive Lobular Carcinoma (ILC) Symposium was established as the first scientific meeting dedicated entirely to invasive lobular carcinoma. The original symposium logo reflected a defining feature of ILC: its single-file growth pattern, represented through the use of yellow circles.
Logo design by Daniel Brown
The symposium’s growth is reflected in the evolution of its logo. The new logo preserves a connection to ILC biology through the single-file dotted lines, while also symbolizing progress and collaboration. The upward arc represents the symposium’s continued expansion, while the four dotted lines reflect the clinicians, researchers, scientists, and patient advocates who come together to advance the field of lobular breast cancer.

Since 2016, the symposium has been held every one to two years in rotating locations, growing into an international gathering focused on advancing the field of lobular breast cancer.
