On October 27-29, 2006, Dan Waeger attended the inaugural LIVESTRONG Summit in Austin, Texas. Through the LIVESTRONG Summit initiative, nearly 1,000 delegates comprised of cancer survivors, care givers, family and friends of cancer survivors, as well as oncology doctors and nurses met to lead a survivorship movement to broaden awareness and impact the unmet physical, emotional and practical needs of people living with cancer.
Throughout the weekend, LIVESTRONG Summit delegates were inspired by esteemed conference speakers such as:
Cancer survivor and champion cyclist Lance Armstrong Antonia C. Novello, M.D., M.P.H., Dr.P.H., New York State Commissioner of Health Author Jim Collins LaSalle D. Leffall, Jr., M.D., President's Cancer Panel Chair Mike Milken, FasterCures Chair Steve Case, Founder of AOL Senator John Kerry Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Senator John Edwards
 -Dan Waeger and Lance LIVE STRONG Summit delegates worked together to identify the needs of cancer survivors and to brainstorm possible solutions to those challenges. Delegates individually developed goals and personal action plans to effect change in their own communities around the identified needs. Delegates left Austin empowered, inspired and prepared to energize their communities' survivorship population and help change the face of cancer survivorship.
