OVERVIEW

Pharmaceutical and biotechnology professionals are given the rare opportunity to view the global oncology space, its future and its current operational issues from the provider, payer, and patient advocate perspective. Participants will improve their working knowledge of key global business, policy, informational, and operational issues in oncology and will gather valuable insights material to developing effective strategies for navigating the various constituencies in consideration of worldwide cancer care issues. Through this interactive program, pharmaceutical and biotech professionals will learn from key stakeholders what they view to be the most pressing issues in the global oncology environment and how to apply this knowledge to create mutually successful working relationships.
