2013 LIVESTRONG Assembly
Welcome! Thank you for participating in the 2013 LIVESTRONG Assembly. We’ll see you February 27—March 1 in Chicago.
Overview
The inaugural Assembly in 2011 connected our program partners to the donors who fund them and recognized individuals, both programmatic partners and donors, who make our work possible.
Now in its third year, the LIVESTRONG Assembly aims to promote the collaboration and exchange of ideas among the Foundation's most important partners, advisors and constituents through small group meetings, presentations and social gatherings. This event will highlight our collective achievements and provide the Foundation’s programmatic partners with the unique opportunity to connect with the individuals who advocate on behalf of the 28 million living with cancer.
What's Happening and Special Events
More than 10 partner groups will meet throughout the LIVESTRONG Assembly, working on tactical plans and 2013 initiatives in their respective areas. We will also host a variety of elective, collaborative activities including:
- State of the Foundation lunch on Thursday: participants will hear from LIVESTRONG Foundation President and CEO Doug Ulman
- Taste of Chicago dinner on Thursday night: enjoy the company of your fellow attendees
- Collaborative Mission meeting on Friday morning: all groups will join to network with one another and learn how everyone contributes to the success of our mission
