CML Horizons 2019 - Presentations, photo gallery and videos now available!
CML Advocacy: Learn. Share. Grow.
17 - 19 May 2019, Lisbon, Portugal
The 17th International CML Horizons Conference was held in Lisbon, Portugal from the 17th to 19th May 2019
This year we greeted a record 119 participants and welcomed 22 newcomers who all support the CML Community worldwide with a very active engagement in Social Media by sharing, making comments and networking in Facebook, Twitter and Instagram during the meeting.
Hundreds of posts on the Facebook Pages of the CML patient advocates and groups were informing thousands of people worldwide and more than 300 Tweets using the hashtag #CMLHZ19 got a large impact on the online CML community with more than 11.000 impressions on this social media channel.
Our participants were given the opportunity to hear from 21 speakers from both medical and patient advocate specialists.
In addition to the expert presentations from our acclaimed speakers our participants once again through the interactive regional workshops collectively played a role in strengthening the regions.
The conference also offers cross border networking where delegates were able to share best practices, interact and exchange ideas.
The poster session has become extremely popular and 21 advocates showcased their organisations' activities.

The World CML Day
CML results from a transformation of a stem cell caused in about 95% of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia patients by the change of chromosomes 9 and 22, which is why World CML Day (9/22) carries a symbolic significance for the patient community.
This day was initiated in 2008 by the patient community to bring awareness about patients’ needs to the general public, politicians and medical professionals across the world.
To face this challenge, every 22 September the entire Chronic Myeloid Leukemia community stands together to raise awareness about one life-changing reality – living with CML.
The CML Advocates Network annually coordinates the World CML Day global awareness campaign to support our 122 members worldwide.
