CLL Society Educational Forums
The CLL Society is pleased to offer an annual series of Patient and Caregiver Educational Forums.
About the Forums
These forums have a duration of approximately 4 hours, during which CLL patients and their caregivers receive cutting-edge education about CLL from a speaker panel which is comprised of CLL experts as well as patients and caregivers relating their experiences. We also invite various local representatives to share information about their local resources and programs; this includes CLL Society Support Group representatives and often representatives from LLS and/or the hosting medical institution, when applicable. A generous amount of time is allotted throughout the event for patient and caregiver questions.
We begin our programming late in the calendar year and extend it into the first half of the following year so that late-breaking research from the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting can be presented.
Unique Sessions
Each CLL Society Patient and Caregiver Educational Forum is unique, featuring a different CLL expert physician speaker at each Forum, while highlighting local research, services, and available trials. We encourage you to attend more than one Forum if you’re able. Likewise, you can check out our archived recordings, and maximize your experience!
