Dear all,

Thanks to everyone’s contribution - organisers, speakers, sponsors, secretariat and the event organisers, the meeting was a resounding success.
As promised, the slides are now available for download from the Programme Section of the AFH 2010 website. The slides are in PDF format so you will need Adobe reader or some compatible software to view them. Please note that most but not all the lectures are available for download.
Photographs of the event are also available for viewing here

Regards

Alan Teh

Addendum: While Dr. Moreau was unable to come to the meeting because of the Volcanic Ash, he has been kind enough to provide use with the slides of his lecture on “Treatment advances in frontline myeloma and the management of elderly patients” which we have uploaded as well.
