A Curated Room: The People Shaping Practice
This second annual, invitation-only meeting convenes a deliberately small faculty of leading gastrointestinal oncology KOLs from Europe and the US alongside hand-selected fellows and junior faculty, the clinicians defining today’s standards and the ones who will define the next decade’s, in one room for two days.
The full agenda and faculty will be announced soon. Every session will pair expert talks with a moderated panel, sustained, close-quarters engagement rather than a lecture hall.
