Celine Surmont-Francina, Director of Events at UICC, shared on LinkedIn:
“D-Day!
We’re just a few minutes away from going live with the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) General Assembly 2026!
Final checks, last-minute adjustments, everyone in position… and a little adrenaline in the control room.
After weeks of preparation and yesterday’s rehearsals, we’re ready to connect our members from around the world for this important moment in UICC’s governance.
Lights, cameras… let’s go!”
To which, Cary Adams, Chief Executive Officer of UICC, added:
“And what a great General Assembly it was!
Congratulations to those who form the new Board of Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and well done to CS Pramesh, the new President-elect!
Thank you Ulrika Årehed Kågström for your outstanding Presidency and welcome to Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu as the President for the next two years.
Thank you to all UICC members who attended and voted at the Assembly. It was my 9th UICC General Assembly – can anyone beat that?”
