Join us for CEO Roundtable on Cancer – XVII
November 13 - 14, 2018 | SAS World Headquarters | Cary, NC




This year marks a pivotal and promising time in the CEO Roundtable’s history.
Our flagship initiative, the CEO Cancer Gold Standard™ health and wellness framework, adopted by employers of all sizes from diverse industries and geographies, continues to save and enhance lives around the globe. Project Data Sphere®, the open-access data sharing research platform for cancer clinical trial research, is becoming a powerful research tool, especially enhanced through our collaboration with the world’s key regulators such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
We look forward to collectively recommitting ourselves to the challenge issued by our founder, President George H.W. Bush, to be “bold and venturesome” in our work to confront and conquer cancer.
