The American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (ASBMT) in collaboration with The Sarah Cannon Blood Cancer Network and National Marrow Donor Program / Be The Match® is proud to announce the 5th Annual ASBMT Fall Clinical Education Conference. The conference will be held September 20-22, 2018 at the Omni Hotel in Nashville, Tenn. This multi-day conference for NPs, PAs, nurses, fellows and junior faculty will be focused on the care of blood and marrow transplant and cell therapy patients.
The three-day conference will be packed with education for the ASBMT community, including specific breakout sessions based on adult or pediatric care. Registration for the event will open shortly; please look for an email from ASBMT in the coming weeks to register to attend the conference. If you’re already planning on joining, you can book your hotel stay for the conference in advance; visit the ASBMT site for more information.
Exhibit Opportunities
With more than 200 attendees each year, we would like to invite you to participate as an exhibitor at this conference. The exhibit area will be open September 20-22 outside of where the educational presentations will take place. There will be two networking lunches as well as multiple breaks where attendees will be encouraged to visit the Exhibit Hall and network with our exhibitors. Exhibitors will also be invited to attend the conference sessions and hear talks from leaders in the field of blood and marrow transplantations and immunotherapies.
Last year we had over 20 companies exhibit at this event. If you are interested in learning more about sponsorship and exhibit opportunities, please contact Angie Dahl at adahl@asbmt.org or 312-673-4833.
