We are excited to announce that the 15th Annual Hepatitis B/C Conference will be taking place on Saturday, November 13, 2021 from 9:00 AM-3:30 PM PST (11:00 AM-5:30 PM CST, 12:00 PM-6:30 PM EST). Given the current climate of the COVID-19 pandemic, the conference will be held virtually this year, utilizing Hopin.

All keynote and speaker sessions will be streamed live, and we will provide opportunities for forming closer connections through our mentorship luncheon and small group breakout workshops. Research posters will be hosted online with the opportunity to showcase your work live as well as provide prerecorded presentation material. The abstract submission deadline is 10/15/2021. After the conference, recordings of all large group speaker sessions will be made available to attendees.

For any questions or concerns, please email Bonnie Nguyen, Karen Bach, and Vivian Lou at hepatitis@apamsa.org
