Meetings

Host a Satellite Symposium in Conjunction with the ASH Meeting on Hematologic Malignancies

Satellite Symposia are industry-supported, CME-certified programs offered in conjunction with ASH specialty meetings. These events are not part of the official ASH meeting program and are planned solely by the sponsoring company.

Satellite Symposia should be unique and answer an unmet educational need. In 2021, the ASH Meeting on Hematologic Malignancies will offer both in-person and virtual content. As such, ASH will limit in-person symposia to two (2) sessions held on Thursday and Friday evenings at 6:00 p.m. Central time. ASH will not limit the number of virtual programs offered.

How to Apply

The Satellite Symposia can be either a pre-recorded virtual or a live in-person session.
