THE ASCO ANNUAL Meeting is 5 bustling days of cutting-edge research presentations, educational sessions, and networking events. To enhance conference takeaways and connect attendees more closely with content from the 2019 Annual Meeting, ASCO will host a podcast listening station onsite at McCormick Place for the duration of the meeting.
The Podcast Listening Station will be located in the McCormick Place East Building’s Lakeside Lounge and will be open from 7 AM to 6 PM daily from May 31 through June 4. ASCO staff will be available at the station to assist new and seasoned podcast listeners alike, answer questions, and guide attendees through ASCO’s podcast series and subscriptions.
Attendees are encouraged to visit the station and listen to podcast episodes presented from a multidisciplinary perspective that will serve as extensions of the robust meeting program. Podcast commentary will further examine research and educational topics discussed during the meeting sessions. Many of ASCO’s podcasts series will feature episodes that take a comprehensive look at the presidential theme, “Caring for Every Patient, Learning From Every Patient,” selected by 2018– 2019 ASCO President Monica M. Bertagnolli, MD, FACS, FASCO.
