About 45,000 people are expected in Chicago for the world's largest clinical oncology meeting.
About 45,000 people will descend on Chicago next week, starting on May 31 to June 4, for the American Society of Clinical Oncology
More than 7000 abstracts were submitted for this year's meeting a new record — and over 5000 were selected for presentation.The event is"just incredibly empowering and energizing," LeBlanc said, with opportunities to catch up with old colleagues and meet new ones, learn how far oncology has come and where it's headed, and hear clinical pearls to take back the clinic.
ASCO is piloting a slightly different format for research presentations this year. Instead of starting with context and background, speakers have been asked to present study results upfront as well as repeat them at the end of the talk. The reason behind the tweak is that engagement and retention tend to be better when results are presented upfront, instead of just at the end of a talk.— has also been given a more central position in the conference: Friday, May 31.
Snippets of the talks will be played while people wait for sessions to begin at the meeting, so attendees who miss the Friday talks can still hear them.
