Anas Younes, MD, from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY, explains why the British Society for Haematology (BSH) Annual Scientific Meeting is unique at BSH 2017 in Brighton, UK. He focuses on the attendance of global thought leaders, whose meeting results in interesting discussion and actionable items. Prof. Younes also highlights how the BSH meeting agenda is dynamic and responsive to “hot topics”, and that many discussions take place outside of the scheduled program.
