Interactive Speaker-Hosted Roundtable Discussions
Interactive roundtable sessions offer a unique opportunity to come together with your peers to share best practice and develop solutions to critical challenges facing the industry as a whole. Each discussion will be led by a table moderator and will focus on a different challenge within oncology clinical trials. Roundtables are an exciting, interactive way to build your personal network and learn from the experience and expertise of others.
After 30 minutes, delegates will have the opportunity to swap and choose a different table, and each roundtable will run twice.
