The Spotlight Stage will serve as a prominent, Ted-Talk style platform from which to share presentations around 4 different themes: Inspiring stories, Vision from a leader, Cancer and innovation and Youthful perspectives on cancer; all in front of an audience of approximately 50 to 60 people.
In addition to the Ted Talk style presentations, the Spotlight Stage will also host Spotlight Interviews which are a series of 10 intimate one-on-one interviews conducted by a professional journalist/moderator with renowned experts in the field. The objective is to profile the forefront of cancer research, prevention, and treatment through discussions with industry pioneers. Each episode aims to provide audiences with unprecedented access to the expertise, experiences, and visionary perspectives of these distinguished experts, offering a deeper understanding of the challenges, wins, and future directions in cancer control.
