There are many events held as part of and in conjunction with the ASCO Annual Meeting each year. Here are specific events for patients that will be held in conjunction with the upcoming ASCO Annual Meeting, June 1-5, 2012, in Chicago. This page will be updated regularly with additional details as they become available.

Information about the meeting program or other happenings at the 2012 ASCO Annual Meeting can be found on the meeting’s website at chicago2012.asco.org.

Patient Advocate Teleconference
Patient advocates are invited each year to participate in a free educational teleconference upon the release of the meeting’s scientific abstracts. During this special preview of the ASCO Annual Meeting, advocates hear directly from ASCO leaders about major research news that will be presented at the meeting on the latest advances in cancer care, treatment, and survivorship. The entire 2011 teleconference has been recorded. Listen to an audio podcast of the 2011 event. Questions can be directed to patientadvocates@asco.org.

Virtual Meeting and Mobile Meeting
Unable to attend this year’s Annual Meeting? You may want to consider a subscription to Virtual Meeting or Mobile Meeting. These video and audio products are for people who cannot attend and who would like access to the meeting presentations (audio, video, and slides). A discounted rate is available for advocates, patients and caregivers, so please contact patientadvocates@asco.org if you are interested in purchasing either product.
