On behalf of the organizing committee, it is our great pleasure to invite you to the 27th Annual Congress of the Korean Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation (KSBMT) in conjunction with the 6th Annual International Congress of Blood and Marrow Transplantation (ICBMT 2022), hosted by KSBMT, to be held in Busan, Korea from September 1 (Thursday) to 3 (Saturday), 2022, as a Hybrid Congress.

Since our first congress in 2017, the ICBMT has grown into one of the most authoritative congresses while contributing to the continued advancement of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, even during the challenges posed by the pandemic era.

In consideration of the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and safety of our participants, we are planning a hybrid format for the congress, allowing speakers and attendees to participate either on-site or virtually. Using the know-how achieved by holding the virtual ICBMT over the last two consecutive years, we will continue to abide by our standards of excellence.

ICBMT 2022 will offer a wide range of academic programs on state-of-the-art topics with world-renowned scholars through Plenary Sessions, Scientific Sessions, Joint Symposia, Oral and Poster Presentations, and Exhibitions. In addition, social events will be held in the evenings for unforgettable memories with colleagues from all over the globe in the beautiful port city of Busan, Korea.

We eagerly hope we can all meet in person once the situation eases. Please stay healthy and safe until then, and we look forward to seeing you at ICBMT 2022!
