View the agenda: DAY 1 and DAY 2

This conference has grown significantly over the years yet continues to provide a unique opportunity to hear and meet with cord blood experts from around the world in an intimate setting. Unlike other conferences, the cord blood tract is run in parallel with other tracts focused other areas of medicine which gives attendees and speakers an opportunity to expand their knowledge base and really explore the impact of cord blood within a greater context. Likewise, the cord blood tract routinely welcomes attendees from outside of the cord blood industry thanks to the format of this conference. Over the years, this crossover has prompted a wonderful exchange of information and networks.
