The 2024 Annual Meeting theme, New Horizons for Global Outreach, is about the generation, dissemination, communication, and implementation of clinical therapeutics across the globe. The theme is very broad to give session submitters adequate flexibility to apply the theme to various topics. However, the ASCPT Scientific Program Committee (SPC) anticipates receiving proposal submissions of a more strategic nature, which will require the SPC to integrate focused science to achieve a balanced program. Learn more and ask your questions live so you can develop a strong proposal!
