Past Event:

CLL Society hosted a Global Virtual Patient & Caregiver Educational Forum on Saturday, October 10 with faculty from across the country. Can’t miss topics from CLL experts will include early management in CLL, Test Before Treat, frontline therapy options, measuring response, clinical trials, CAR-T, vaccines, Richter’s Transformation, and more! Also patients and caregivers spoke about being your own advocate and the value of joining support groups. Archived content coming soon!

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.

Each Forum is Unique:

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!
