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.

hroughout the years the conference has gained huge vitality and intensity of the global CML Community: moving and encouraging posters, communal regional workshops and remarkable and significant presentations from renowned medical and advocate specialists.
The meeting doesn’t just give us simply medicinal understanding and advocacy training- we feel that consistently, the meeting has developed a phenomenal network crossing oceans and seas and reaching all continents around the globe to improve the life of patients and enable new and existing patient groups and has transformed into a unique multi-cultural family.
CML Horizons is a wholly community-run and multi-sponsored the conference, which has evolved from the “New Horizons” conferences 2002-2011. The annual conference is run by the CML Advocates Network, hosted by the non-profit, Swiss-based and patient-driven “Leukemia Patient Advocates Foundation”.
