Highlights of ASH has expanded yet again. This year ASH will partner with two different international hematology societies to offer a more robust set of international “Highlights” meetings. The programs will provide hematologists unbiased analysis of research presented at the ASH annual meeting, while offering educational content tailored specifically to local audiences.

For the first time ASH will offer Highlights of ASH in China, a collaboration with the Chinese Society of Hematology and the Chinese Medical Association, which is scheduled for April 2-3, 2011 in Beijing.

ASH will also host Highlights of ASH in Latin America, this time moving from Brazil, which hosted the first two Latin American meetings, to Uruguay. The 2011 meeting, held in partnership with the Sociedad de Hemotología del Uruguay, will take place in Punta del Este, Uruguay, April 29-30.

Discussions at these meetings will include topics on hematologic malignancies, hemostasis and thrombosis, myelodysplastic syndromes, anemia, and more. Special sessions will include “How to Prepare a Manuscript for Blood” and “How to Prepare an Abstract for Submission to ASH.”

Both meetings will offer simultaneous translation. Highlights of ASH in China will offer translation from English into Mandarin, and Highlights of ASH in Latin America will offer translation from English into both Portuguese and Spanish.

Registration for both of the international Highlights of ASH meetings is now open. To learn more about these meetings and register, visit www.hematology.org/highlights.
