Learn and Network at These Industry-Supported Programs

These industry-sponsored events are great ways to get information on new treatments and symptom management while connecting with colleagues. Some offer continuing nursing education (CNE), some offer a meal, and all provide new knowledge and networking opportunities.

When planning your schedule, keep in mind that satellite symposia offer CNE, while non-CNE ancillary events and theater presentations provide valuable information on new treatment options, disease management, side effects, and more but do not provide contact hours. We’ll be adding more programs to this list soon, so be sure to check back frequently for the most updated information.
