This year's program has been compiled to cover a broad spectrum of benign and malignant hematologic conditions. The plenary sessions will draw attention to new insights in the different areas of hematology. The education sessions are an integral part of the congress for every delegate. Two workshops will be held in the morning and afternoon: the new Laboratory Hematology Workshop, focusing on diagnostic work, and the Molecular Hemopoiesis Workshop, with special focus on the latest advances in research.
