Malvern, Pa., (August 14, 2025) — Against a backdrop of rapid innovation and mounting complexity in oncology, the 2025 Clinical Pathways Congress + Cancer Care Business Exchange (CPC+CBEx) will convene September 5–6 in Boston, Massachusetts. The event will bring together cancer care leaders, payers, and innovators to examine how major trends—artificial intelligence, emerging treatments, stakeholder collaboration, whole-person care, and workforce transformation—are reshaping the design and implementation of clinical pathways and value-based care strategies.

Keynote speaker Thomas Koulopoulos will deliver keynote remarks, “Navigating Tomorrow’s Healthcare Gigatrends,” from 9:25–10:10 AM on September 5, exploring how healthcare organizations can evolve legacy models into adaptive, AI-supported systems.

What is Clinical Pathways Congress + Cancer Care Business Exchange?

The Clinical Pathways Congress + Cancer Care Business Exchange (CPC+CBEx) is a national conference focused on the design, implementation, and evolution of oncology clinical pathways. The event brings together leaders across cancer care, policy, pharmaceutical innovation, and health systems to accelerate value-based care strategies, healthcare infrastructure solutions, and market access innovations that redefine oncology.

Thomas Koulopoulos on Gigatrends and the Future of Oncology

  • How AI and virtual health can create a continuous care loop: “AI’s pattern-recognition and virtual health’s ‘anywhere, anytime’ reach fuse into a continuous care loop ... The prize: fewer cliff-edge hospitalizations and a seamless hand-off from prevention to acute to chronic management.”
  • Why clinical pathways are the lever for value over cost: “When pathways are built around outcomes instead of encounters, they become the financial Rosetta Stone that translates ‘spend’ into ‘health value.’”
  • The future of care systems: “The next wave of healthcare won’t reward those who build bigger hospitals or prettier dashboards—it will reward those who turn clinical pathways into adaptive, learning ecosystems.”

Who Should Attend

  • Cancer center executives, innovation directors, and service line directors
  • Oncology operations and quality leaders
  • Pathway implementation managers and VBC strategists
  • Health economists, outcomes researchers, and market access teams
  • Consultants and digital health innovators
