Haematologists have plenty to look forward to on the conference calendar in 2025, with a bumper crop of local and international meetings alongside must-see events from the limbic.
Early in the year but overseas, the British Society for Haematology (BSH) has unveiled a preliminary program outlining key topics for its annual meeting in Glasgow at the end of April, promising “outstanding plenary speakers, a wide range of parallel sessions, abstract presentations and industry educational sessions”.
A preliminary program is also available for the International Society for Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) Congress 2025 – to be held in Washington, US in June – with four plenary sessions, 400 oral abstract presentations and 30 master classes on the bill.
An early program has also been published for EHA’s annual congress in Milan in June, which promises “cutting-edge evidence-based approaches to diagnosis and treatment, highly anticipated clinical and translational research data, and the newest developments in innovative techniques, diagnostic tools, and risk-assessment strategies,” according to its organisers.
In Australia, Blood 2025 to be held in Perth in October will host the 36th Regional Congress of the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT). Program details are still to come.
As always, our journalists here and in the UK will provide coverage of the key meetings throughout the year.
