WELCOME NOTE
Dear Friends, It is very exciting to write this welcome note to invite you to learn, explore and discuss non-communicable diseases (NCDs) throughout the upcoming 2014 World Cancer Congress programme. This year, for the first time, we are offering a suite of plenaries, sessions and side events that are of relevance to the wider NCD community, beyond cancer. It is now widely recognised that NCDs are a global health and development emergency. Collectively these diseases - namely cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease and mental/neurological disorders - are driven by the same shared risk factors and social determinants; experience the same challenges and strive to overcome the same myths and misconceptions; and demand similar solutions, responses and approaches. In recognition of this common agenda, in 2009 UICC joined forces with the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the World Heart Federation (WHF) to form the NCD Alliance. Since then, The International Union Against TB and Lung Disease, Management Sciences for Health (MSH) and the Framework Convention Alliance (FCA) have joined the NCD Alliance as Steering Group members, we have a very active Supporters Group, over 2,000 network members and 29 national and regional NCD alliances have been established. We are truly witnessing a global NCD movement which has successfully brought together world experts and civil society advocates to unite in elevating NCDs on the global health and development agenda. The World Cancer Congress offers a unique opportunity to bring these networks together, share good practice and lessons learnt, form new alliances and further harness our impact by joining over 2,500 delegates from 120 countries. For the first time, NCDs are a common thread throughout the Congress. We are proud to be hosting sessions relating to NCD risk factors, advocacy, the power of social media, fundraising, patient rights, palliative care and political engagement. These sessions are of great relevance to the whole NCD movement. We look forward to meeting you in Melbourne from 3-6 December.

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND
From 3 – 6 December 2014, delegates will find a full three-day programme of NCD relevant sessions given by some of the world’s leading experts in their field. For example: • The NCD Alliance and its supporters will be at the Congress. In addition to running NCD Alliance sessions, the team will be in the Global Village and there will be an NCD Cafe in which there will be regular presentations given by world-renowned global health experts. • There are a number of sessions which focus on the common risk factors across the NCDs. Tobacco, alcohol, diet and physical activity receive particular attention. Each panel discussion drawing on experts in the field, including the involvement of our colleagues from the World Health Organization. • Our Big sCreen media track will showcase the most impactful NCD awareness campaigns from around the world. • Advocacy features prominently throughout the three days. Many sessions addressing the topic of how one successfully campaigns to place NCDs on global and national agendas. • The Congress will feature a selection of international experts who specialise in national health systems design and implementation with an emphasis on palliative care, relevant to all NCDs. • NGO-focused fundraising sessions that showcase the best campaigns that have been implemented around the world in the last two years and the platform for attendees to leave equipped to improve the fundraising efforts of their own organisation. • A diverse group of attendees beyond cancer control. The Congress attracts individuals and organisations who are integral to chronic-disease planning in their own country. Yes, there are oncologists at the Congress, but the vast majority of attendees are leaders of cancer societies, councils and leagues. We are also privileged to welcome ministries of health from many countries and officials from several UN agencies. In the following pages we list the NCD relevant sessions which form part of the larger World Cancer Congress Programme. We hope that the content inspires you to view these three days as worth attending!

Everything on your doorstep From the range of international cuisine through to the rich arts and music scene, Melbourne truly can offer something unique to each of its visitors.
There’s always something happening Melbourne has everything you’d expect from a world city – galleries, opera and great food. But not only that, it’s also a UNESCO City of Literature. You can rest assured that there will be something going on, no matter when you’re there.
Australia’s culinary capital One of the best things about visiting a new city is discovering all the places to eat and drink. And Melbourne certainly offers a lot to discover. From the numerous eateries in China Town and Little Korea to the fresh pizza and pasta on Lygon Street, Melbourne’s got a dish to suit any palate.
Visit Australia Experience the Australian way of life in Melbourne and once there, enjoy the beauty of the country. Take a ride on the Great Ocean Road to the Twelve Apostles and Victoria’s world-class surf beaches, visit the underground churches of Coober Pedy, dive on the Great Barrier Reef and experience the wilderness of the Kakadu National Park or take a boat to Tasmania. The Australian experience is only one step away!
Australia’s favourite city An independent study recently placed Melbourne at the top of Australia’s favourite domestic holiday destinations. And it’s easy to understand why. Melbourne brims with stunning architecture and rolling gardens, and an aesthetic sensibility reminiscent of its fellow world cities.

PROGRAMME
The three days of the World Cancer Congress promises to be more inspirational than ever. The Congress theme, ‘Joining Forces - Accelerating Progress’ will focus on how we can maximise impact globally by applying what we already know, rather than waiting for future breakthroughs to change the landscape and outcomes. It is also aimed at encouraging all participants to meet with others who have similar interests to their own, and to understand how system organisation can provide the optimum conditions for success. With this in mind, the World Cancer Congress will provide many networking opportunities for participants to make meaningful connections, such as in the dynamic Global Village, via the unique e-networking platform, in one of the networking receptions organised or through other interactive sessions and forums. Based on hundreds of proposals received the appointed Programme Committee has developed an outstanding and diverse array of sessions, addressing the hottest topics in cancer and NCD implementation science. The Congress Programme will provide many innovative features including education and training opportunities with the Master Courses, enthralling plenaries with the chance to interact with worldrenowned speakers, ‘Connect with the Expert’ forums, discussion panels, a daily ‘Big Debate’ tackling controversial topics, rapid-fire poster presentations, top fundraising ideas, a media track entitled the ‘The Big sCreen,’ and much more.

GLOBAL VILLAGE
The Global Village provides a central and dynamic environment where delegates can network, exchange ideas, but also participate in a wide range of activities throughout the Congress. THE HEART OF THE WORLD CANCER CONGRESS Because this is the main purpose of the Congress: to give you a platform to meet others, to this end, the Global Village has been designed as an ideal meeting hub for delegates.
SPOTLIGHT ON
THE NCD CAFÉ The NCD Alliance will have a large presence in the Global Village with a dedicated stand and the NCD Café. An interactive space where moderated discussions and debates will be held, the NCD Café will showcase regular presentations given by worldrenowned global health experts.
In the Global Village, you will be able to: •
Engage with several international organisations who will be showcasing their activities in the international exhibition
WHO ELSE IS ATTENDING?
•
Listen to and interact with e-poster presenters, whom will be presenting their work in one of the four enclosed ‘e-Poster Pods’ set-up in the Village
Making meaningful connections with the new E-networking platform available on the Congress app.
•
Mingle and network in the lounge and catering areas
•
Organise a meeting to connect with other NCD Alliance supporters in one of the meeting rooms available
•
