The World GU conference successfully exceeded its objectives: survey data showed a 96% overall satisfaction score and 71 NPS.
Measurable gains in clinical knowledge across sessions: Pre- and post-survey comparisons show a greater proportion of participants selecting correct, guideline-aligned answers. Post-survey findings demonstrated improved understanding of risk stratification tools, biomarker testing, multidisciplinary collaboration, and evolving treatment standards in cancer care. The changes in responses suggest that learners strengthened their evidence-based decision-making skills and increased their confidence in applying emerging data in clinical practice.
Expanded multidisciplinary engagement: Increased representation across medical oncology, urology, radiation oncology, pathology, and surgery strengthened collaboration across the GU care ecosystem. One attendee said, “World GU is special because it’s a way for us to come together, as a community, to talk about and think through ways to optimize the care of our patients.” Another attendee pointed out: “This meeting [is unique because it] really focuses on our other partners – what do the surgeons think? What do the radiation folks think? It’s phenomenal!”
Stronger future-leader pipeline: 18 poster award winners and dedicated Fellow programming demonstrated measurable growth in trainee engagement. One attendee said, “I think one of the things that stands out to me for World GU is the size of the conference. I think having an intimate setting where we can talk to our peers, interface with industry, and with trainees has been a wonderful way to get talking about the future of GU oncology!”
Deeper emotional impact: Live music, patient participation, gamified learning, and an inspirational keynote created a conference atmosphere that attendees described as memorable and energizing. Feedback shared: “The venue and environment were amazing,” and “Great mixture of education and entertainment.”
