Networking and creating collaborations is regularly the top highlight for delegates attending the World Cancer Congress and one of the three top factors in deciding to attend. For this reason and in line with the 2022 theme focusing on global collaboration, UICC offered dedicated spaces and activities (such as the Ice-Breaker or the Accelerated Connections Café) for UICC members and partners and their leaders to network, connect and rekindle a sense of community. The Congress digital platform and application also offered a user-friendly appointment making tool for all delegates to schedule one-to-one or group meetings with suggested meeting points within the Congress Center.
