There are less than three weeks until the start of the 47th annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium® on December 10, 2024. You won't want to miss this important opportunity to join nearly 11,000 researchers, clinicians, patient advocates, and supporters from around the world who are working to shape the future of breast cancer research and care.
Two important portals for presenters
SABCS 2024 is almost here and we have now launched the Presenter Submission Portal, allowing presenters to upload their presentations, audio files and posters. At the same time, the Abstract Submission Portal is still important. It’s where presenters can submit their financial disclosure information, view their co-authors, and make any necessary updates to biographical information. Be sure and log in to both portals as you are finishing up your presentation preparation.
Last-minute hotel opportunities
The deadline for booking housing through SABCS® has passed, but we have worked with a handful of hotels to continue to make discount rooms available for SABCS® attendees. If you haven't booked your stay through SABCS® and our vendor, Orchid Events, do it now while the opportunity still exists.
