Multiple Faces of Myeloma
Seminar 1: Wednesday 1st March | Seminar 2: Friday 17th March | Seminar 3: Thursday 30th March
March is International Myeloma Month, in Australia during the month we aim to raise awareness of myeloma and provide access to experts in the field through online seminars and local ‘3.8 With a Mate’ community events.
We are pleased to bring you three online seminars throughout the month of March. These seminars will be streamed live from this page in the video box above and will be recorded so you can watch them back at later time.
For information about a 3.8 With a Mate event in your state please see our events calendar here
All you need is a computer, tablet or smart phone and an internet connection. You can send questions to the speakers prior to and during each event using the question form below and provide feedback by clicking the evaluation button at the bottom of this page.
You can find recordings of last years online seminars as an example of the event format.
