Every two years the International Brain Tumour Alliance (IBTA) invites selected brain tumour patient organisations from around the world to their global Summit. Following a two year hiatus, the 2023 IBTA Summit convened in Vienna, Austria, with 104 delegates from 33 countries attending, including Brain Tumour Support NZ chair and IBTA senior advisor, Chris Tse. In this article, Chris presents his thoughts on the conference.
There is something powerful and dynamic when a group of people with like minds and a shared purpose get together in the same room. It is like a choir singing in complete harmony – the synergies generated can transcend the physical realm and produce something truly meaningful.
