26th Annual IWMF Educational Forum
IMAGINE A CURE: A WORLD WITHOUT WM
The 2021 Ed Forum will be a completely virtual event. We are excited to announce an entire month of educational workshops in October 2021, culminating in our Virtual Educational Forum. These workshops are for all members of the WM community – from newly diagnosed patients, to 25+ year WM veterans, and everyone in-between. These workshops, led by top WM physicians and researchers, will help lay the educational groundwork for a two-day Virtual Educational Forum.
