D ear C o l l e a g u e ,It is our pleasure to invite you to join us at Lymphoma & Myeloma 2009: An International Congress on Hematologic Malignancies. This fall’s Congress, October 22-24, 2009 at The Waldorf=Astoria in New York, New York, promises to be our most exciting and interactive meeting yet!

Since its inception in 2000, this Congress has grown to nearly 800 attendees and has become the premier forum for discussion on the latest advances in lymphoma and myeloma. Using a dynamic approach, featuring clinical controversies, debates, and examinations of current treatment regimens, attendees will receive a thorough understanding of the evolution of thought and therapy of lymphoma and myeloma, as well as any significant developments which may lead to improved results.

Guided by the expertise of the leaders in the fields of molecular biology, pathology, immunology, and translational and clinical research, this Congress will provide for a stimulating and interactive forum for attendees from all relevant medical specialties.

Allowing attendees the benefit of visiting New York City during one of the most beautiful times of year, this Congress will be the perfect chance for you to get away and enjoy a weekend of learning in the capital city of the world.
