Conversations are panel discussions that provide an in-depth, up-to-the-minute look at a single topic. Featuring three to four thought leaders and an expert moderator, Conversations consist of a 60-minute discussion, followed by 15 minutes of audience q-and-a.
More than 40 years ago, the United States declared war on cancer. Decades later, we still do not have a cure. More than 4 million people die prematurely from cancer every year, and that figure is projected to increase over the next decade. This year, Vice President Joe Biden launched a “Cancer Moonshot” initiative that aims to complete ten years of cancer research in just five, which means we may have reached a tipping point in society’s desire to mobilize a cure.
