Welcome Message
Welcome Note
Dear Colleagues,
It is with great pride and enthusiasm that we welcome you to the 2nd MPN/MDS Master Class — a continuation of what has become a landmark event in our haematological community.
Our first Master Class was a tremendous success, thanks to everyone who attended and contributed. The rich discussions, groundbreaking insights, and collaborative spirit that defined that day have inspired us to build on that foundation and go even further.
This year’s Master Class will once again bring together leading experts and researchers to explore the very latest advancements in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms and Myelodysplastic Syndrome.
Taking place on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at the Salwa Al Sabah Conference Center, Marina Hotel Kuwait, we have crafted an even more dynamic programme — with deeper scientific discussions, expanded networking opportunities, and a continued commitment to translating knowledge into better outcomes for our patients.
Building on the momentum of our first event, this Master Class represents our collective resolve to push boundaries in MPN and MDS research, treatment, and care.
Together, we have already proven what is possible. Now, let us go further.
We look forward to another extraordinary day of learning, collaboration, and inspiration.
