"I thought it was wonderful to be able to be virtual and yet also have great video of the conference goers. I loved that during the Q and A I could see people around the room--it gave me a sense of "being there" even though I was remote."

“I found [the plenary] to be not only informative, but helpful to hear a patient's perspective. It was also great to see providers from many different aspects of oncology care and beyond.”

"I loved getting the acupuncture ‘sample’. I had always hesitated to go because I don’t like needles, but this was not bad and even in a noisy room I was able to relax and benefit… I will look further into using acupuncture now.” "
