Agenda and Sessions
Join us for a program designed to educate across disciplines, spark collaboration, and promote innovation in practice. FWGBD 2022 will bring together over 300 healthcare providers across disciplines -- all dedicated to improving the care of women and girls with blood disorders. From engaging keynote speakers to in-depth breakout discussions, the program will provide a mix of "a-ha" moments and practical ideas you can take home. And because we know that the value of the conference doesn’t just take place in the meeting rooms, the agenda features ample time to connect with peers in the spaces in between and through lunches, receptions and roundtables.
FWGBD 2022 will be held on Saturday, September 24, and Sunday, September 25, with the conference concluding mid-day on Sunday. A Welcome Reception will be held on Friday evening, September 23, 2022 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm for those who have arrived early and wish to join us.
NOTE: If you are part of the WGBD or WGSCD Learning Action Networks, the LANs will host their meetings on Friday, September 23, 2022. LAN members will need to register separately for these meetings. Contact Elizabeth Kearns at ekearns@fwgbd.org for more information.
