Meet the Professionals Joining the 6th Global MPN Symposium
Hematology, research, quality of life, regulatory science, biology and clinical care will come together in Barcelona from November 6–8
A program is much more than a list of sessions and times. Behind every conversation are people willing to share their knowledge, experience and different perspectives.
At the 6th Global MPN Symposium, taking place in Barcelona from November 6–8, 2026, professionals from different countries and areas of expertise will join patients and the wider international MPN community.
Across three days, we will explore the present and future of MPN, symptoms and quality of life, patient involvement, European collaborative research, treatment selection, practical tools, young patients and new ways of working together.

Different disciplines. One conversation.
One of the goals of the 6th Global MPN Symposium is to create a space where professional knowledge and the lived experience of people with MPN can meet. Patients are not simply part of the audience.
We want them to ask questions, share experiences, identify needs and take part in the conversations.
That is why the Symposium brings together professionals, international patients, dedicated working groups and sessions focused on quality of life and wellbeing.
