2025 Wisconsin Multiple Myeloma & Lymphoma Summit

Milwaukee, WI US
October 25, 2025

This CME-accredited activity will bring together experts in hematologic malignancies to provide a comprehensive overview of current and emerging strategies in the management of multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and Waldenström Macroglobulinemia.

Designed for oncology professionals across disciplines, this program will explore practice-changing advances in both newly diagnosed and relapsed disease, with a particular focus on emerging immunotherapies, including CAR T-cell therapy and T-cell redirecting bispecific antibodies.

Expert faculty will contextualize recent clinical data and therapeutic developments, offering practical guidance on how to integrate these options into routine patient care to improve outcomes. Sessions will include in-depth analysis, case-based discussion, and multidisciplinary perspectives tailored to real-world hematology practice.

Target Audience

This activity is intended for:

  • Hematologists and medical oncologists
  • Oncology nurses and advanced practice providers (NPs, PAs)
  • Pharmacists
  • Hematology/oncology fellows 

Learning Objectives

Upon successful completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  1. Review induction and treatment strategies for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, including approaches for both transplant-eligible and transplant-ineligible patients.
  2. Discuss evidence-based management of relapsed multiple myeloma, including treatment selection for patients with 1–3 prior lines of therapy.
  3. Evaluate the indications, efficacy, and safety profiles of novel immunotherapies, including CAR T-cell therapies and bispecific antibodies in multiple myeloma and lymphoma.
  4. Describe current therapeutic approaches for Waldenström Macroglobulinemia, including when and how to initiate treatment.
  5. Summarize evolving frontline treatment strategies for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), incorporating emerging agents and combination regimens.

POLICY ON INDUSTRY EMPLOYEE'S PARTICIPATION IN MARKETING/EDUCATION ACTIVITY AT THE CONFERENCE: 

All marketing and product promotion activities must occur in the designated exhibit hall or product theater space separate from the area where this accredited continuing education takes place. 

The exhibit and product promotion space is reserved only for companies that have purchased marketing and product promotion slots at the conference.  The individual registration fee doesn't include marketing or product theater privileges. Please refer to the sponsorship handbook for the types of marketing activities included in your display/sponsorship fees. 

If your company has NOT purchased a marketing opportunity such as an exhibit table, product theater slot or another type of marketing opportunity, you may not participate in any marketing activity or attempt to educate healthcare providers about your product or service. Industry attendees of companies without marketing opportunities must refrain from interacting with healthcare providers at this meeting in any form, including introducing themselves as an employee of the company, discussing the care of patients, handing out flyers and brochures, inviting participants to the company's other programs, etc.

Violating this policy will result in a fine equivalent to a general display fee for that conference.

  • If your company has purchased a display table at the event, you will be billed the full INDUSTRY REGISTRATION FEE plus a fine equivalent to the full industry registration fee for that event = 2 X the industry registration fee.
  • If your company has NOT purchased a display table at the event AND you attended the meeting without paying a full industry registration fee, you will be billed a full GENERAL DISPLAY FEE for that event. 
  • If your company has NOT purchased a display table at the event AND you attended the meeting paying a full industry registration fee, BUT YOU PARTICIPATED IN MARKETING AND PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES, you will be billed a full GENERAL DISPLAY FEE for that event. 

Any outstanding display fee, registration fee, and fines must be paid before the industry employee or the company will be able to attend/display at our conferences again.
