The premier event in malignant and non-malignant hematology
Attend the world’s most comprehensive hematology event of the year for an invaluable educational experience and the opportunity to review thousands of scientific abstracts highlighting updates on the most critical topics in hematology.
Given the profound global impact of the coronavirus pandemic on hematologists and their patients, ASH remains committed to its mission of advancing the field of hematology by providing a forum for the exchange of vital hematologic information. While ASH is moving forward with preparations for the 62nd ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition December 5-8, 2020, in San Diego, California, in the hopes that an in-person meeting may still be possible, we understand that many of our attendees already know they are not able to travel in December. Therefore, we are pleased to announce that there will be an option to attend virtually, whether there is an in-person component or not.
ASH will continue to carefully monitor the situation and will announce a decision about the meeting format no later than September 30. Should the face-to-face conference not be possible, registered attendees will be given the option to cancel their registration for a full refund or convert it to registration for the virtual meeting.
