Meal times
Lunch is often eaten around 14:00 and dinner after 21:00. Plan sit-down meals around the scientific programme rather than expecting early evening dinner service.

Flights
Destination: BCN
BCN is the destination airport for the October 2026 congress window. Captured Google Travel samples showed London travel on 21-24 October from about EUR 217 and Singapore on 24-27 October from about EUR 549, so shifting dates can change fares. A nonstop New York option was captured at about 7 hr 50 min, with one-stop connections via Doha, Istanbul, Zurich, Frankfurt and Dubai on other origins. Book early and confirm baggage and change rules.
Visa
Spain entry rules depend on nationality. Short business visits within the Schengen allowance normally do not need a national visa, while longer stays (over 90 days in any 180-day period) require a national visa under Spanish rules.
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs guidance notes that third-country nationals need a national visa for stays over 90 days in any 180-day period; business visitors should confirm short-stay Schengen rules for their passport before booking.

FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
Glossary
- Hematology
- The branch of medicine focused on blood, blood-forming organs and disorders such as anemia, coagulopathy, leukemia and lymphoma. At this Barcelona congress, hematology sessions typically span malignant and non-malignant blood disease.
- Hemato-oncology
- The overlap specialty covering blood cancers and related oncology care. Expect program content on leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma and supportive management for patients receiving systemic therapy.
- CAR-T cell therapy
- A treatment in which a patient's T cells are engineered to target cancer cells. At hematology meetings, CAR-T discussions often cover patient selection, toxicity management and durable response data.
- Measurable residual disease (MRD)
- Very small numbers of cancer cells that remain after treatment and may be below routine detection limits. MRD is a recurring topic in leukemia and myeloma sessions because it can inform prognosis and treatment decisions.
- Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT)
- A procedure that replaces diseased bone marrow with healthy stem cells, used in selected blood cancers and marrow failure conditions. Congress content often addresses donor selection, conditioning and post-transplant complications.
- Hemoglobinopathy
- An inherited blood disorder affecting hemoglobin, such as sickle cell disease or thalassemia. These conditions appear in non-malignant hematology tracks focused on chronic care, transfusion and gene-based therapies.
- Liquid biopsy
- A blood-based test that detects tumor-derived material such as circulating tumor DNA. In hemato-oncology, liquid biopsy is discussed for monitoring disease, detecting relapse and guiding therapy.
- Real-world evidence (RWE)
- Clinical evidence derived from routine care rather than controlled trials. RWE is used at hematology congresses to show how therapies perform across broader patient populations and treatment settings.
- Supportive care
- Care that prevents or manages treatment side effects and improves quality of life. In hematology and oncology, supportive care covers infection prevention, transfusion support, pain control and psychosocial needs.
- Clinical trial endpoint
- A measured outcome used to judge whether a treatment works, such as overall survival, progression-free survival or response rate. Trial endpoint discussions help clinicians interpret new hematology and oncology data.
