We are excited to announce that the 5^th International Workshop on Acute Leukemias (iwAL) will take place in person in San Diego, USA, on 25 – 27 August, 2023, where the world’s leading clinical researchers in AML & ALL will share their perspectives on how to place this evolving understanding in a clinical context and thereby optimize clinical care. In keeping with the ethos of iwAL, the emphasis of the workshop will be on short, high-level presentations, sessions of interactive debate and panel discussions.
