In light of the continuing COVID-19 related challenges, the 22nd Annual John Goldman Conference on Chronic Myeloid Leukemia: Biology and Therapy was held as a virtual E-Conference from October 1-4, 2020.
577 participants from 57 countries attended the virtual meeting to follow the scientific program of high transversal interest to the International CML scientific community.

‘The virtual event was a great opportunity to welcome an even larger CML community this year to benefit from the outstanding scientific program and to continue interacting with colleagues during this challenging period.’
(Professor Jorge Cortes, e-conference chairperson)
