CLL Horizons 2021 - 5-7 November 2021 - Register Now!

The CLL Advocates Network (CLLAN) Steering Committee is pleased to announce the 4th international CLL Horizons Conference which will be held in a fully virtual format.

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN! Please REGISTER HERE to join us online at CLL Horizons 2021 (CLLHZ 2021) from 5-7 November! 

The CLL Horizons Conference is a unique opportunity for patient advocates and patient organisation representatives supporting CLL patients to:

· Learn about the disease, treatments and latest research from leading doctors

· Hear from fellow advocates on key topics, including awareness, education and drug access

· Network virtually with others doing similar work, giving them the opportunity to discuss issues facing CLL patients.

You will gain important knowledge that will help you improve your support of CLL patients in your community.

The 3-day conference will be conducted in English, and some sessions will be duplicated to allow participation of attendees joining from the Southern Hemisphere.

The conference includes topics of importance to the CLL patient community and provides a unique opportunity for participants to share experiences and best practice. We have again been able to attract renowned experts and speakers from different parts of the world, such as Prof Florence Cymbalista from France, Prof Con Tam from Australia or Prof Anna Schuh and Dr. Talha Munir (both from UK). You will find interesting medical and advocacy sessions as well as plenty of interactive panel sessions.

The platform offers an exhibition space for groups to showcase their activities, materials and projects. You will also be given the opportunity to submit a poster on any general CLL advocacy support activity of your choice as well as to submit abstract on a best practice example around “The impact of the pandemic on Patient Organisations – best practice examples of transforming challenges into opportunities.” Three abstracts will be selected and winners will get the opportunity to present these in our “Hear from the regions” on Day 2. More details will be shared once you have registered.

You can access a top-line conference agenda HERE!

CLLAN Horizons Conference

5 -7 November

CLLAN, the group coordinating CLL patient support groups globally, is having their annual conference (on line this year) on 5 – 7 November. I went to their 2019 conference in Edinburgh, and it was excellent. I recommend that you check out their website – the meeting is called “CLL Horizons” – info@clladvocates.net, and consider attending. The meeting is all about CLL, and addressed by world leaders on the disease. https://www.clladvocates.net/program/cll-horizons/
