Scientific Meetings are usually four days in duration. The first day provides data managers and research nurses with haematology education about a nominated disease group. On the second day of the meeting, trial coordinators present a summary of the progress of current ALLG trials to data managers/research nurses. This provides an opportunity for data managers/research nurses to discuss any trial issues and difficulties with their peers and trial coordinators. The last two days provide an opportunity for clinicians to present their current and proposed trials to other ALLG clinicians.

All ALLG Members and Associate Members are eligible to attend the Scientific Meetings. Representatives of pharmaceutical companies are permitted to attend the meetings, provided that sponsorship requirements have been met. However, sponsor representatives will not be able to attend the Annual General Meetings (AGMs) and closed meetings where financial and other confidential matters may be discussed.

Pharmaceutical Company Sponsorship: Companies not currently involved, please contact the ALLG Chairman Professor Mark Hertzberg.

Further Information: For any other queries about arrangements for the meetings, please contact the Administration & Events Officer, Dilu Uduwela by email or on +61 3 9656 2764.
