Agenda

Each conference will include parallel (simultaneous) sessions on bone marrow failure diseases.
  • AA (aplastic anemia) and PRCA (pure red cell aplasia)
  • MDS (myelodysplastic syndromes), CMML (chronic myelomonocytic leukemia), and MPNs (myeloproliferative neoplasms)
  • PNH (paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria)
  • AML (acute myeloid leukemia)
There will also be sessions on bone marrow transplants and general wellness. These sessions will help you learn about the diseases, learn to live with and cope with them, and take charge of your own health.

At each conference patients and family members will be able to
  • meet medical experts face-to-face
  • hear about the latest treatments and medical research
  • learn skills for managing life with a bone marrow failure disease
  • have your questions answered
  • learn how to be your own advocate for the best care
  • get to know other patients and family members like yourselves
  • learn how the AA&MDSIF can help you
  • attend a Friday night social before the day of the conference
