Five pre-conference workshops will be scheduled on Wednesday morning 17 September 2025 from 09.00-12:30 hrs. 

The workshops can only be booked in combination with attendance of the Conference. Places will be assigned on a first come, first served basis. As the workshop are always sold out in no-time, it is advised to register as soon as possible when registration opens. No waiting lists will be made. 

Workshop 1: How to use flow-cytometry to support MDS diagnosis
More information will follow soon.

Workshop 2: Flow Cytometry Of Platelets - From Phenotype To Function
Organiser: José-Enrique O’Connor (Valencia, ES)
Level: Basic
Maximum number of places: 20 

Throughout this workshop, participants will be guided through the fascinating world of platelet cytometry. Platelet phenotype and functional responses are considered traditionally complicated aspects for clinical cytometry. However, most difficulties in platelet cytometry may be overcome by appropriate sample preparation and by carefully designed flow cytometric setup and assay optimization. The state of the art in platelet flow cytometry has made its way far beyond the description of hemostatic disorders. The course will illustrate the relevance and practical application of multiparametric flow cytometry to the clinical analysis of platelet and platelet-derived microvesicles. Special focus will be put on the technical bases of sample preparation, including guidelines for assay optimization and standardization. Participants will gain practical experience by analyzing listmode files of real cases from diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic settings.

Workshop 3: Computational AI
More information will follow soon.

Workshop 4: Spectral Cytometry in Clinical Practice: Applications and Insights
Organisers: Mikaël Roussel and Thomas Matthes (on behalf of the French group CytHem)
Level: Beginners
Maximum number of places: 25

Spectral cytometry has been implemented in only a few diagnostic laboratories so far. In this course, Prof. Roussel and Matthes will share their experience in designing spectral panels and running spectral cytometry for various clinical applications. They will provide examples of mid-size panels (10–20 colors) for diagnosis and MRD assessment of hematologic malignancies, as well as high-complexity panels (>20 parameters) for the monitoring of immune cell populations.

Workshop 5: EVs - understand the capabilities and limits of your machine for detecting EVs
More information will follow soon.
