Join the world's leading hematology experts at Highlights of ASH in North America, a two-day program that highlights the most influential research presented at the latest ASH annual meeting, the premier event in malignant and classical (non-malignant) hematology. ASH is pleased to conduct this year’s series as in-person meetings; there will not be a virtual meeting platform.

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.

Through the meeting content, you will be able to:

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
Improve therapeutic and overall practice methods
Discover new treatments for patients

This meeting has been designed to be a rewarding educational event for hematologists, oncologists, fellows and trainees, allied health professionals, and hematopathologists.
