Westin Palace Madrid, Madrid, Spain
October 27-30, 2022

Attend the world’s most comprehensive hematology/oncology event on Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia; the 11^th International Workshop on Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia (IWWM-11).

The 11th International Workshop for Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia is being held October 27^th through the 30^th, 2022 in Madrid, Spain. The venue chosen for this meeting is one of Madrid’s premier hotels, Westin Palace Madrid, situated in the Las Letras quarter. The hotel nestles in one of the city’s most historic areas linking the city’s most enriching museums, Prado, Reina Sofia and Thyssen-Bornemisza, vibrant parks and gardens, and epicurean eateries. Onsite registration and check-in begin at 14:00 (2:00pm) on Wednesday, October 26^th, conference sessions starting on Thursday, the 27^th, at 8:00am.

The Workshop’s mission is to further the understanding, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders affecting the blood, bone marrow, and the immunologic system, by promoting targeted research, clinical care methods, education, training, and advocacy for Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia.

IWWM-11 will continue to support future research by including a Junior Investigator Poster presentation event with short oral presentations. Abstract submissions for poster presentations will begin in June 2022.

Opening Ceremonies will take place on Thursday, October 27^th in the Neptuno room of the Westin Palace Madrid. The ceremony will feature the presentation of the R. Kyle Award and Young Investigator Awards. 

The Closing Ceremonies will take place on Saturday, October 29th, 2022, at the Prado Museum in Madrid. The ceremony will feature the presentations of the Jan Gosta Waldenstrom Awards, the Peter S. Bing Humanitarian Awards, and evening presentations. 

We expect this international Workshop to be as comprehensive as IWWM-10, which included 15 sessions with over 60 technical presentations.  Since the IWWM began in 2000, the number of participating international investigators has steadily grown to over 30 countries, and over 6,500 publications including those created and developed from the IWWM Workshops. These publications have been published in the New England Journal of Medicine, Blood, Clinical Lymphoma Myeloma, Haematologica, Journal of Clinical Oncology, Leukemia, Nature, and other top publications.  

IWWM-11 will continue the mission to enrich each attendee’s understanding and help foster discoveries and collaborations leading to more effective treatments and ultimately find a cure for Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Workshop!
