It’s Deadline Day! Submit Your 2025 Annual Meeting Session Proposal by 4:00 PM ET Today, June 6th! 
Today, Thursday, June 6, 2024, is the last day to submit your innovative idea for a session to be held during the 2025 Annual Meeting, February 19-21, in Washington, DC. Help ASCPT craft an engaging and unique scientific program by submitting one of the new session types: Panel Discussion, Flash Talks, or Interactive Session. 

To inspire attendee engagement and participation, ASCPT has added 3 new session categories for proposal submission:

• Panel Discussion: This session format features up to three experts discussing a specific topic, facilitated by one or two moderators. The session is designed to last no more than one hour, ensuring a focused and concise exploration of the subject. The discussion allows each panelist to present their viewpoint, followed by a collective discussion and interaction with the audience. 
• Flash Talks: Flash Talks are succinct sessions designed for quick, impactful presentations. They are ideal for speakers to share key insights, innovative ideas, or project updates. The format is particularly well-suited for conveying clear messages in a short amount of time, keeping the audience engaged with crisp content. 
• Interactive Session: Interactive Session Formats are designed to actively engage participants in discussions and idea exchanges. This category includes various session types such as point/counterpoint debates, crowdsourcing activities, and fireside chats. Each format encourages dynamic participation from the audience or between speakers, facilitating a deeper understanding and diverse viewpoints. These sessions are ideal for fostering open dialogue, collaborative thinking, and direct interaction between speakers and attendees. 

For more details and full submission guidelines, please visit the ASCPT website. All proposals must be submitted by today, Thursday, June 6, 2024, at 4:00 PM ET.

This session will provide the US Food and Drug Administration and China Center for Drug Evaluation’s general requirement of dose optimization in the context of drug combinations in oncology with case studies shared.
