75+ Speakers — The Leaders Running Oncology Programs Today
The lineup at Becker’s Spring Oncology Executive Summit reflects the people making decisions inside oncology programs right now. It includes oncology chiefs, hospital CEOs, presidents, and C-suite executives responsible for precision medicine, care delivery, and growth. This is one of the few events where more oncology executives are in the room than at any other conference. The same leaders you benchmark against are the ones on stage.
About the Conference
Speakers come to be part of the conversations you need to be in
The roster is built around one question: who does this audience need in the conversation? Speakers are selected based on the decisions they own, the systems they run, and the peers they work alongside.
Over 90% of the speaker lineup is health system leaders and executives.
