Greetings from New Orleans

Thousands of hematologists gathered this year in warm and humid New Orleans for the 64th American Society of Hematology's (ASH) annual congress. Like many other conferences in the post-COVID19 pandemic era, ASH was a hybrid congress with the possibility of both virtual and physical participation.

As we, the BPNO team, entered the convention centre, we were greeted with a bustling atmosphere of activity and engagement. Despite the lingering pandemic, the attendees seemed eager to meet face-to-face and resume professional networking. The conference centre was abuzz with discussions on the latest research and clinical advancements in hematology, and the excitement and energy in the air were to sense. We connected with some of the leading hematologists in and outside the Nordic region. The following section summarizes the main points and insights gained from some of our meetings with the experts.
