A star studded quarterly report? Plenty to divulge.

What does MC hope to glean from presenting at this conference? How are all these medical professionals I.e., physicians, oncologists, nurses etc going to advance or contribute to what should be MC's agenda at the moment.....the advancement of Pela toward commercialization by BP. At this time, presenting to some retail investment advisors.....for what? The attraction has to be the Louisiana

I feel that MC has discovered a time machine with his latest announcement.  ONC is now conducting itself in the exact same fashion as it did when it was an early stage biotech 20 years ago.  A dog and pony show in a regional market to an audience of medical health professionals.  What the heck is going on at ONC?? My bet... there will be about 5 or 10 people in the audience

I guess you're not the only one to think that. Down again, what a freakin' surprise!!??

[JohnnyYeg]

You're kidding right? Just being facetious?? Operations and Business Development are two separate functions in business. Until there is a concrete agreement with "i"s crossed, "t"s dotted, and the dotted line signed, you continue with operations as if nothing has happened, because in the interim anything can change with biz dev.

[Snowdrift]

I can't find Oncolytics or Matt Coffey anywhere in the agenda. In the ONC news release, it says MC will be presenting on March 1, at 11: 30 am ET, which is 10:30 am, Louisiana time. But that's not what the agenda shows.

[itntdf]

he appears in the "investment track" acadia room in the 10:30-11 time slot in the 1st.

[Snowdrift]

Thanks for clarifying, but where did you see that?  There's no mention of the Acadia room in the agenda.

[Snowdrift]

I just found the info on LinkedIn.  It doesn't mention the time, but it does list Oncolytics for March 1. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/cancer-advocacy-group-of-louisiana-cagla_neauxcancer2024-activity-7157118500849774592-513G

Now Noteable, surely you're not saying he's not just going for the fish broil? There's actually a whole of bunch of big name industry players at the fish broil also? 

[lonc17]

There are dozens of these small (non-academic) conferences held every year accross North America.  They serve two purposes: 1. They allow for some professional course credits for health care professionals to satisfy their professional obligations.  2. They are marketing tools for big pharma to promote existing approved therapuetics.  Suggesting that MC and ONC are somehow

[Azzak34]

It's a great point, no big company has ever bought a smaller one based on their intellectual property enhancing their own business.  I'm guessing Harvard business Ionc17? With insights like these there's no shot you aren't an alum of some ivy league establishment. 

[m00nsh0ts]

I hate to agree, but why does MC need to spend our money on this very small audience. Especially since every presentation, for the last 20 years, ends up with the stock price, dropping,.

[itntdf]

maybe the most charitable spin on this would be the ability to converse with some of the sponsors of this event some of which include merck, pfizer, lilly and bms.  notably absent is roche. so maybe mc will try to woo one of the above and play that against roche. or then again, it could just be for the crawfish etouffee.
