Highlights of ASH in Asia-Pacific

Join the world's leading hematology experts at Highlights of ASH in Asia-Pacific, a two-day program that highlights the most influential research presented at the latest ASH annual meeting, the premier event in malignant and non-malignant hematology.

By attending Highlights of ASH, you will get a comprehensive review of significant scientific updates in clinical and translational hematologic research, learn how these updates directly affect the study and practice of hematology, and discover how new research can be translated into cutting-edge patient care.

  • Recap stand-out abstracts from the most recent ASH annual meeting.
  • Discuss rapidly evolving developments in hematology and hematology-oncology with leading faculty in the field.
  • Participate in interactive panel discussions and attend small group lunch sessions with the experts.
