@kellyaboh, and thank you for telling us about this summit! As someone who is paying roughly $17,000/mo for my Tagrisso, I'm bummed that I can't attend the Financial Toxicity presentation, which would be my first choice for the 1st breakout session. And, as someone who regularly contributes to GO2 and has already written 3 letters to my legislators regarding cuts to NIH funding, my first choice for the 2nd breakout session would be 'Your Voice and the Policy Process'.
I admit I'm somewhat spoiled in working for a company that offers all meetings as hybrid events for the benefit of the remote workers. I'm currently teaching a class at work myself and had 38 attendees to the first session, only 5 of whom were in the room with me. Several were in other states. My in-laws live 2 hours from Minneapolis, but I'd need more than 10 days to schedule a visit. Maybe a note for future summits?
Nonetheless, thank you for making some of the summit available to remote advocates, and I'm looking forward to attending!
