Saturday, September 26, 2020, 6:00 AM - 3:00 PM

This annual educational symposium is proud to update our medical community on the state-of-the-art care of gastric cancer and gastrointestinal stromal tumors, while focusing on the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and treatment of these rare and complicated disease entities. National and international renowned and distinguished faculty, including those from MedStar Health and MedStar Georgetown Cancer Institute will discuss the significant roles of evolving new diagnostic modalities, immune, regional, and molecular targeted therapies, the use of organ-sparing surgery, and the use of state-of-the art radiotherapeutics in these rare and complex cancers. This symposium will also highlight evolving role of palliative surgery for advanced gastric cancer. Finally, this symposium will host a case presentation panel to shed light on the controversies around the management of gastroesophageal cancers.

Virtual Event FAQs:

WHEN AND HOW CAN I ACCESS THE VIRTUAL CONFERENCE?
Registered attendees will receive a link via email to the OnAir platform before September 26. The link will be sent to the email address you used to register and is how you will access all the conference content. You’ll use the same link to access the platform for the live conference and for on-demand content afterward.

WHAT IF I DON'T RECEIVE THE LINK?
Contact [email protected] for assistance. 

CAN I SHARE THIS LINK WITH OTHERS?
Just like an in-person meeting, registrations cannot be shared. The registration provides a single sign-on secure experience for the user.

WILL SESSION MATERIALS BE MADE AVAILABLE IN ADVANCE OR AFTER SESSIONS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED?
Presentations from Gastric and Soft Tissue Neoplasms will be emailed to attendees by October 2. This will contain PDF documents of those presentations we have been given consent to share. 

WILL LIVE CONTENT BE AVAILABLE AFTER THE EVENT?
Live content will be recorded, subject to speaker permission, and posted on platform for on-demand viewing. While the interactive chatrooms and other portions of the platform will close after the live event ends, you will still be available to view session content and click on exhibit booths to connect with exhibitors offline until September 2021.

AM I ABLE OR ALLOWED TO SHARE DOWNLOADABLE CONFERENCE CONTENT?
Please note that no recordings/sessions of any kind that are accessed on the platform can be downloaded (or shared) at any time. We ask that you follow the same rules for any presentation materials you download. This is a single sign-on/no group sharing of content, meaning your registration is just like a conference badge at an in-person event.
