Chicago Cellular Therapy in Hematology and Oncology: Expert Guidance for Clinical Practice

Deerfield, IL US
September 21, 2024

This CME-accredited activity, Chicago Cellular Therapy in Hematology and Oncology: Expert Guidance for Clinical Practice, features leading experts in hematologic malignancies and cellular therapies who will provide a comprehensive overview of current and emerging strategies for the management of lymphoma, myeloma, acute leukemias, and solid tumors with a focus in the use of cellular therapies. The goal of this activity is to improve the knowledge and competence of learners to apply practice-changing clinical data and expert recommendations to optimize clinical outcomes for patients with hematologic malignancies and to describe potential future applications of cellular therapy in solid tumors. The activity will use a mix of didactic lectures and case-based discussions to highlight areas of debate between cellular therapy and non-cellular therapy in the treatment of these diseases. Expert faculty will aim to place the role of different therapeutic agents in a clinical context and discuss how to utilize these therapeutic options to effectively contribute to patient care. This conference is designed to provide physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals with the latest updates in the field. It will highlight a multidisciplinary approach and the integration of new advances in patient-centered care.

The symposium will augment healthcare providers’ foundation of knowledge and clinical competence in several areas:

  • Providing a review of existing clinical evidence supporting approved Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR T) therapies in the care of patients with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL), Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), Follicular Lymphoma (FL), Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL), and Multiple Myeloma (MM)
  • Describing the role of non-cellular therapies in B-ALL, DLBCL, FL, MCL, and MM
  • Identify challenges to the delivery of cellular therapies and provide a discussion on how such barriers may be addressed
  • Discussing novel investigational approaches of cellular therapy in acute myeloid leukemias and solid tumors

POLICY ON INDUSTRY EMPLOYEE'S PARTICIPATION IN MARKETING/EDUCATION ACTIVITY AT THE CONFERENCE: 

All marketing and product promotion activities must occur in the designated exhibit hall or product theater space separate from the area where this accredited continuing education takes place. 

The exhibit and product promotion space is reserved only for companies that have purchased marketing and product promotion slots at the conference.  The individual registration fee doesn't include marketing or product theater privileges. Please refer to the sponsorship handbook for the types of marketing activities included in your display/sponsorship fees. 

If your company has NOT purchased a marketing opportunity such as an exhibit table, product theater slot or another type of marketing opportunity, you may not participate in any marketing activity or attempt to educate healthcare providers about your product or service. Industry attendees of companies without marketing opportunities must refrain from interacting with healthcare providers at this meeting in any form, including introducing themselves as an employee of the company, discussing the care of patients, handing out flyers and brochures, inviting participants to the company's other programs, etc.

Violating this policy will result in a fine equivalent to a general display fee for that conference. 

 

NOTICE TO HCPS EMPLOYED BY THE INDUSTRY:

If you are employed by industry, including pharmaceuticals and biotech companies, you must pay the INDUSTRY REGISTRATION FEE to participate in any meeting organized by the Binaytara Foundation. If you misrepresented yourself as a healthcare provider not employed by the industry and failed to pay the Industry registration fee, the following fees apply:

  • If your company has purchased a display table at the event, you will be billed the full INDUSTRY REGISTRATION FEE plus a fine equivalent to the full industry registration fee for that event = 2 X the industry registration fee.
  • If your company has NOT purchased a display table at the event AND you attended the meeting without paying a full industry registration fee, you will be billed a full GENERAL DISPLAY FEE for that event. 
  • If your company has NOT purchased a display table at the event AND you attended the meeting paying a full industry registration fee, BUT YOU PARTICIPATED IN MARKETING AND PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES, you will be billed a full GENERAL DISPLAY FEE for that event.
