You’re Invited to the Canadian Conference on Myeloid Disorders
Fairmont Chateau Laurier, Ottawa, Ontario – September 10-12, 2027
On behalf of the planning committee, we welcome you to the Canadian Conference on Myeloid Disorders (CCMD). We are happy to announce, the CCMD Conference has collaborated with the Canadian Leukemia Study Group (CLSG). CCMD will take place on September 10-12, 2027 at the Historic Fairmont Chateau Laurier in Ottawa, Ontario. This conference follows on the momentum and success generated by the last several CCMD conferences.
CCMD will host international experts in MDS and AML from Europe, the United States and Canada. These leaders will review the newest developments in this rapidly evolving field.
Case presentations will highlight current treatment standards and feature discussions of where the new therapies could be positioned. There will be opportunity for audience participation via polling with members of the clinical faculty featured during the panel discussion. We aim to bring a Canadian perspective to the management of MDS & AML patients. These meetings have clear implications for the delivery of care to patients with MDS and AML in Canada and fosters opportunities for collaboration and research.
The planning committee is looking forward to your input as to ways in which we can work together to optimize the care of our patients.
We look forward to seeing you in Ottawa for CCMD 2027
