Who can believe that we are already celebrating the 5th anniversary of PM360’s ELITE Awards? Each year the celebrations for these extraordinary people have only become bigger and better. More than 200 attendees joined us at 230 FIFTH, the largest outdoor Rooftop Garden in NYC, to honor the latest collection of those named to the ELITE 100. And we couldn’t have asked for a better evening—yes it was hot—but it was a gorgeous night under the stars to pay tribute to our industry’s true stars. That includes this year’s Uber ELITE, David Spetzler, MS, MBA, PhD, President and Chief Scientific Officer of Caris Life Sciences, who shared how his company is working to fulfill the promise of personalized cancer treatments. We would also like to thank the night’s sponsors, Calcium and CheckedUp, for helping to make the night spectacular.
