Speakers
World Cancer Day and Mars: Using Drupal to drive global impact and reinvent digital experiences

Wednesday, September 30, 2026 - 09:00 to 10:15 

Charles Revkin is Senior Digital Strategy Manager at the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), working at the intersection of communications, marketing and technology to strengthen the organisation's global digital platforms and campaigns. 

World Cancer Day, held annually on 4 February, mobilises people, organisations and governments in more than 100 countries. As hundreds of thousands engage with the campaign online each year, UICC faces the challenge of managing and publishing large volumes of user-generated content during peak periods.

In this keynote, Charles will tell the story of how UICC explored the use of Drupal AI to support one of the most demanding aspects of the campaign: managing a surge of user-generated stories submitted during peak engagement periods. He will share the opportunities, challenges and lessons that emerged along the way, highlighting how AI can assist content moderation and publishing workflows while keeping people firmly at the centre of decision-making.

Anthony Bojocan is a digital leader and platform innovator at Mars, overseeing the technical architecture of its multi-brand digital ecosystem.

Anthony will share how Mars reinvented its editorial experience across 350+ websites through its investment in Drupal Canvas. He will show how the component-based approach gives marketers, creative agencies, and brand teams greater independence to build and manage digital experiences at scale.
