IWMF Educational Forum

The Ed Forum is an annual educational event held in a different US destination each year. This Forum typically runs 2-3 days, and all WM patients, supporters, family, and caregivers from around the world are welcome to attend.

Our Ed Forum is the place to learn about Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia (WM) from specialists involved in areas of clinical practice and research. Presentations address:

Symptoms and complications of WM
Current treatment options
New therapies
Recent research findings that may someday lead to a cure

The Ed Forum also offers breakout discussion groups on specific topics of interest to both patients and caregivers such as:

Nutrition and cooking
Making the most of IWMF resources
Wellness
Peripheral neuropathy and anemia
Financial resources

The Ed Forum environment offers networking meetups for sharing experiences and supporting each other. Many presenters and faculty speakers stay for the duration of the Forum, which provides an opportunity for attendees to talk with the experts on an informal basis. Each Ed Forum concludes with the popular “Ask the Doctor” question-and-answer session.
