WIN 2025 Symposium
October 03, 2025 - October 04, 2025Venue: Pennsylvania Convention Center, Philadelphia, PA, USA
The 2025 WIN Symposium: Progress and Challenges in Precision Oncology will be presented as Track 1 of the Advancing Precision Medicine Conference in partnership with APM.
As the official 2025 WIN Symposium, this dedicated track will explore the evolving landscape of precision oncology, highlighting both groundbreaking advances and the ongoing challenges of translating molecular insights into clinical impact. Curated by the WIN Consortium, the program will feature global leaders in cancer research, diagnostics, and therapeutic innovation—offering a comprehensive view of how precision medicine is reshaping oncology across tumor types and care settings.
The symposium is co-chaired by Wafik El-Deiry, MD, PhD, FACP, Chair, WIN Consortium and Razelle Kurzrock, MD, FACP, Chief Medical Officer, WIN Consortium.
We are very proud to announce that 2019 Nobel Laureate William Kaelin, Jr, MD (Sidney Farber Professor, Harvard Medical School and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute) will be delivering the opening Keynote lecture.
WIN 2024 Symposium
March 01, 2024 - March 02, 2024The two day WIN Symposium 2024, organized by the Worldwide Innovative Network (WIN) Consortium in partnership with Burjeel Holdings, was held at the Rosewood Hotel in Abu Dhabi on March 1–2, 2024. The landmark event, themed “Precision and Molecular Oncology: Caring for Patients and Future Generations,” convened more than 450 clinicians, researchers, and industry professionals from approximately 30 countries. Together, they explored the latest advances in precision oncology and offered insights into the developments shaping the future of oncology.
The symposium started with an inspiring keynote lecture by Nobel Laureate Professor James Allison, who has revolutionized cancer immunotherapy. The curated program featured interactive elements illustrating precision cancer treatment principles and best practices.
The WIN Symposium provided attendees with a deep understanding of the role of key biomarkers, their optimal application, and emerging new omic tests that will inform future biomarker adoption under the two big umbrellas of Precision Genomics and Precision Immunotherapy. Local experience from the UAE, the host country, was included to link global evidence to regional practice. Application of the principles of precision medicine were discussed beyond medical and onto radiation oncology along with issues of access, equity and diversity in precision oncology practice and trials on a global scale. The symposium featured a Molecular Tumor Board to exemplify with real patient cases how to use biomarkers to inform therapeutic choices. Finally, a panel discussion was dedicated to navigating available diagnostic pathways and tests from bench to bedside.
The symposium provided networking opportunities, allowing participants to connect with peers, establish collaborations, and forge new partnerships.
The event was endorsed by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO®) and accredited for 8.5 European CME credits (ECMEC®s) by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®).
