Daniel Kraft Speaker Testimonials
On behalf of The Economist and our three moderators, I would like to extend a huge thank you for your participation at last week’s Health Care Forum: War on Cancer conference. The event was an incredible success – in no small part thanks to your help, participation and contributions. In one action-packed day, we convened dozens of thought leaders from the far corners of the oncology ecosystem for some lively and informative conversations about collaboration, integration and how to win some of the battles in the “War.” We’ve been thrilled with the response and we were happy with the level of audience participation.
