ABOUT THE E-CONFERENCE:

In view of continuing COVID-19 related challenges and uncertainties, ESH has decided to hold this year’s Translational Research Conference on Multiple Myeloma as a virtual event. Please note that it will begin one day earlier than initially planned, extending from October 8-11, 2020.

An outstanding faculty of distinguished global experts will present the most recent advances and new perspectives in the field of Multiple Myeloma and plasma disorders, from pathophysiology to diagnosis and therapy, including current challenges and new perspectives.

The plenary E-Conference programme is designed to place emphasis on leading-edge basic and clinical research. The presentation of unpublished data is encouraged. Ample time is deliberately provided for scientific discussion and interaction.

Registered participants will further benefit from opportunities for informal scientific interaction with the world’s leading experts in the field during closed Meet the Expert sessions and E-Mentored Posters Walks.

Participants will be joining us from all over the world and from different time zones. To make sure that everyone has access to the full scientific programme at a convenient hour, registration will allow participants to join both the LIVE PROGRAMME  and the PROGRAMME ON DEMAND.

– The “Live Programme” is to be found on programme page. It will be streamed live CEST time, as indicated. It will include lectures, roundtable discussions, Meet the Expert sessions, interactive panel discussions, voting and Q&A periods, and Mentored Poster Walks. It will also include some pre-recorded lectures that will be streamed live, followed by their corresponding fully live Q&A period.

– The “Programme on Demand” available as of September 29th, 2020, will initially include the pre-recorded components of the scientific programme. It will be progressively enriched by the meeting’s live, interactive components which will be recorded real time during the meeting.

The Virtual platform will remain open from September 29 until October 21, 2020 so that participants can view and review the programme’s full scientific content at times convenient to them.

We have selected a platform with the technical capacity and environment which we feel responds to ESH objectives in terms of learning, scientific interaction and conviviality.

We hope that you will be interested in joining us for this ESH E-Conference on Multiple Myeloma,

In the meantime Stay Safe!

ESH 5th Translational Conference:
Multiple Myeloma
(Initially October 9-11, 2020 – Mandelieu-La Napoule, France)
Chairs: Kenneth C. Anderson, Maria-Victoria Mateos, Philippe Moreau

 

This meeting aims to bring to the forefront the latest breakthroughs in multiple myeloma and plasma cell disorders. The unique format of the programme provides ample time for discussion following each lecture and, at the same time, the program will provide a unique opportunity for world leaders in the ­ field of plasma cell disorders to debate vital and contentious issues in Myeloma. This thought-provoking academic dialogue will address the most challenging current biology, clinical and therapeutic questions.

This conference intends to promote informal interaction and ample discussion between scientists and clinicians working in the field. Scientific presentations by international leaders will provide the current status and a perspective of these exciting developments. Results from both basic and clinical research will be presented.

Posters and Brief Oral Communications:

Registered participants are invited to submit their Biology and Clinical abstracts. Selected abstracts will be presented as brief oral communications or posters.

 
This meeting will be valuable to you if you are looking for:

  • A cutting-edge scientific programme – from basic science to clinical and therapeutic applications and perspectives.
  • An emphasis on in-depth scientific discussion
  • Opportunities for informal face-to-face scientific interaction with global authorities in the field.
