What top execs say about CIIE

A1 We see CIIE as a unique platform to launch our latest products and technologies. Our launches at this year's event include a smaller-footprint proton therapy system, the ProBeam 360, which is the most advanced radiotherapy platform to treat cancer.

We'll also launch our Ethos therapy platform - the first adaptive therapy platform driven by artificial intelligence - and the latest generation of our TrueBeam platform, featuring real-time tracking and motion management. For interventional radiology,

We'll showcase the smallest drug-loadable embolization microspheres for interventional oncology treatments. Cancer patients in rural areas will now be able to receive the same quality treatment at local hospitals as they do at leading centers in Beijing and Shanghai.

We hope to make a positive impact on cancer patient treatments. CIIE, more than other events, stimulates dual-circulation development for Varian and benefits more patients.

A2 We welcomed more than 100,000 visitors to our exhibit last year. At the third CIIE, we expanded the size of our booth, so it's 50 percent larger than last year.

CIIE has fostered connections between our company and leading players in the healthcare and cancer care industries. We've also improved out connections with important regulators and policy makers, as well the general public.

We believe that Intelligent Cancer Care products and services will help to expand access to cancer care in China. More importantly, we hope to build the public's confidence in the fight against cancer.

A3 I believe it's the most large-scale event happening offline around the world. It shows how quickly China has recovered from the pandemic and is a testament to the country's confidence and commitment to its opening-up policy.

China is a huge market with enormous potential. CIIE has bridged the gap between international businesses and China. Opportunities here will help companies to offset the negative impact brought by the pandemic.

We received guidelines on COVID-19 prevention and control from the CIIE bureau.

I think the event is well-prepared and I will feel safe being there. It sends a strong signal that we are going to win the fight against the pandemic as long as we adopt effective measures.
