After careful consideration of the ongoing spread of COVID-19 overseas and in the United States, the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT) Board of Directors has decided not to conduct ASGCT’s 2020 Annual Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts scheduled for May 2020.
ASGCT has come to the conclusion that it is only possible to fulfill the Society’s mission by hosting the 23rd Annual Meeting virtually and as-scheduled.
It is our hope that the ability to share innovative science, connect virtually with peers from around the world, and learn from one another will bring forth a sense of renewed optimism in light of the continuing challenges ahead. The new rate schedule is listed below:
Annual Meeting
New for 2020, ASGCT is changing the Pre-Meeting Workshop program to offer more half-day sessions. All Pre-Meeting Workshops will take place live in a virtual meeting environment on Monday, May 11, 2020. Each workshop has an individual registration rate, and attendees may register for any or all workshops independent of, or in addition to, registration for the Annual Meeting.
Pre-Meeting Workshops (Held on May 11)
The CAR T and Related Immune Effector Cell Therapies Workshop will feature discussions of the current state of CAR T therapeutic approaches in light of recent FDA approvals with updates on clinical long term follow-up gene editing and going beyond autologous CAR-T cells for cancer.
