Accommodations
Northwestern Law does not have a room block reserved for this event. The American Society of Clinical Oncology's annual meeting will be taking place in Chicago and overlapping with our event, limiting hotel availability downtown. Participants needing accommodations are encouraged to look for availability outside the immediate downtown area and make their reservations as soon as possible.
Course Materials
Course materials for each session will be distributed via Brandlive, our virtual event environment. Access instructions will be emailed to confirmed registrants approximately one week prior to the event.
