Barcelona is getting closer.
From November 6 to 8, 2026, Global MPN Scientific Foundation will host the 6th Global MPN Symposium, an international hybrid meeting available both in person in Barcelona and online.
The meeting will take place at Hotel ILUNION Barcelona. English will be the main language, with simultaneous Spanish interpretation and subtitles in different languages.
Three days to look at MPN from different perspectives
The program combines research, patient experience, practical tools and quality of life.
Friday, November 6 · MPN today and tomorrow
The first day will begin with a welcome from Peter Löffelhardt, followed by a session on the present and future of MPN with Dr. Lorena Arranz.
Prof. Sam Salek will explore how working groups can benefit the community, while Dr. Patricia Vélez and Gabriela Aguirre will present the Hospital del Mar Nurse Navigation System. The day will also include a session with pharmaceutical industry representatives.
Saturday, November 7 · Tools, participation and patient working groups
Saturday will place particular emphasis on participation.
Two sessions will explore MPN Journal and what comes next, alongside presentations on Septembre Rouge, the pathway to EMA, and how European institutions can support patients. A major part of the afternoon will be dedicated to working groups for myelofibrosis, polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia, created for patients and family members.
Sunday, November 8 · Young patients and wellbeing
The final day will focus on two important areas: AYA patients and wellbeing.
Young patients, parents and healthcare professionals will share a dedicated working and discussion space with Dr. Natalia Curto, Prof. Haifa Al-Ali, Dr. Katarzyna Siekaniec and Dr. Bartosz Roś. The program will then turn to the Wellbeing Project, including its first in-person meeting and a Yoga Nidra session with Marga Linares.
