About This Show

AI-drafted summary

The ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, organized by the American Society of Hematology (ASH), is widely regarded as the premier global event in classical and malignant hematology. The 68th edition takes place December 12–15, 2026, in New Orleans, Louisiana, with a hybrid format that also delivers content through an online virtual platform. The meeting showcases the highest-caliber science and the most important areas of clinical progress in both malignant and non-malignant blood disorders.

The meeting draws hematologists, oncologists, researchers, clinicians, trainees, allied health professionals, and industry representatives from around the world. Attendees gain access to marquee sessions, an extensive education and scientific program, thousands of poster presentations, and results from ground-breaking clinical trials in basic and translational research.

It is worth attending because the science presented can be applied directly in the clinic and laboratory, while the meeting also offers CME/MOC-supported education, in-person networking sessions and social events for professionals at all career stages, and the chance to connect with peers, healthcare, and industry professionals both onsite and virtually.
