Pharmaceutical and biotechnology professionals will have 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 improve their working knowledge of key global business, policy, informational, and operational issues in oncology and 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 learn from key stakeholders about the most pressing issues in the global oncology environment and how to apply this knowledge to create mutually successful working relationships.
