Yoel Bakas Keynote Speaking

Speaking

I speak about what I've spent twenty years learning: how capital decisions, vendor dynamics, and technology promises play out inside real oncology programs. No hype. Just what I've seen work and what I've seen fail.

​

Key Topics

​

Protecting Program Margin in a Challenging Reimbursement Environment 

Delivered at the AMAC Spring Symposium 2026. How purchasing frameworks, service contract structures, and vendor negotiation dynamics affect the bottom line for radiation oncology programs.

​

AI Snake Oil vs. Clinical Reality 

Where AI delivers real ROI in oncology and where it burns capital. A vendor-side perspective on what's being sold versus what actually works in the workflow.

​

Global Commercialization Strategy 

What US companies get wrong entering EMEA and LATAM markets. Cultural integration, distribution management, and building international teams that perform.

​

SROA Annual Meeting 2026 keynote, Boston, 52 minutes.

Formats and audience

Keynote or breakout, 45 to 60 minutes, with questions. Panel and pre-conference course formats on request. Built for radiation oncology administrators, cancer center executives, physician leaders and the finance people who sit across from them. Recordings are welcome.
