Your summit will unite individuals and organizations in your community under the charge of doubling the rate of progress in cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

We encourage you to bring together researchers, oncologists, care givers, philanthropists, data and technology experts, advocates, patients, survivors, your family and friends and more in your community to discuss how cancer affects you, generate ideas about how individuals and organizations can better engage in the Moonshot Initiative, and come up with ideas for new collaborations and actions.
