Now in its 20th year, this hallmark conference for pharmaceutical and biotechnology executives features cutting-edge presentations and candid panel discussions on concepts and developments which are critical to cancer drug development and commercialization.  

• Emerging cancer targets, combination therapies, translational research, autophagy and metabolism, drug resistance, biomarkers, rational design and much more – provocative panels will examine new agents and avenues which are reshaping treatment strategies.

• The current 95% attrition rate for cancer drugs is unacceptable. What can be done to mitigate the risk of future drug failures?

• Payers are demanding more evidence to support coverage and payment decisions, what are the global healthcare outcomes and health technology assessments that need to be incorporated into clinical programs in order to get drugs reimbursed? A panel of noted decision-makers will assess the landscape and offer innovative solutions.

• In an economy that is forcing downsizing and reduction of operating expenses, what new paradigms are changing the business models in oncology?

Our stellar faculty of presenters and panelists will provide a mother-lode of information and insights. Attendees receive a conference handbook and web-access to slides, plus the annually-updated report Oncology Drugs in the Pipeline. The conference offers many opportunities for high-level networking during continental breakfasts, refreshment breaks, luncheons and a gala cocktail reception. Participants may also attend the 4^th annual Albert Szent-Gyorgyi Prize Award Dinner sponsored by the National Foundation for Cancer Research (NFCR). This prize is awarded each year by the NFCR to a basic science researcher who has made an extraordinary contribution to cancer research. Dinner attendance requires an additional fee of $100, proceeds going to the NFCR.

Plan now to join us for strategic discussions, lively audience interactions and an unsurpassed learning experience.
