Mobile Applications
New this Year!
A mobile application that will provide program and exhibitor information, maps, messaging capability, and general information will be available at the 2011 annual meeting. The application includes the full text of the abstracts and the articles available in Hematology 2011 (The Education Program Book). The application will allow users to add a session to their device’s calendar which will build their itinerary for the meeting. The following smartphones are supported: iPhone, Android, and Blackberry; the application will also support the iPad and Google tablets.
Child Care
For safety reasons, children under the age of 12 (including infants in carriers and strollers, or hand-carried infants and toddlers) are not permitted in the exhibit hall and poster sessions. Additionally, ASH prohibits children and infants in the sessions as they may distract the speakers and other attendees.
ASH has made arrangements with KiddieCorp to provide child-care services at the meeting beginning on Saturday, December 10, and ending on Monday, December 12. KiddieCorp staff members are bonded and trained child-care specialists. The cost for child-care service is subsidized by ASH. The cost to parents is $5 per hour, per child with a two-hour minimum required per child, per day. Snacks, light meals, and beverages will be provided each day. Pre-registration is recommended to ensure participation. Space is limited, so please register your child by November 9.
For additional program information and registration material, please contact KiddieCorp’s ASH Program Manager, Susan Tillman, by phone at 858-455-1718, by fax at 858-455-5841, by email at susan@kiddiecorp.com, or via the company’s website.
The child-care room will be located in the San Diego Convention Center, and child-care hours will be listed on the ASH website in the near future.
