Bio AscendTM converts established in-person events into virtual powerhouse experiences.

Bio AscendTM was creating dynamic virtual events even before today’s conference experience pivoted almost completely from in-person events to virtual engagements. By creating and developing interactive educational offerings, a virtual experience created by Bio AscendTM still accomplishes the goal of disseminating recent data and emerging trends. By pairing “live” programs chaired by today’s leading experts with prerecorded clinical presentations, interactive case discussions and expert panel discussions, we continue to attract and engage with a global audience of oncology and hematology healthcare providers.
