SOHO invites delegates and attendees to submit an abstract for a poster or oral presentation during the Fourteenth Annual Meeting of the Society of Hematologic Oncology (SOHO 2026). The deadline to submit an abstract is May 15, 2026. 

Eight awards will be presented for best posters:

• $2,500 first place
• $1,750 second place
• $1,000 third place
• $500 each for the next 5 honorable distinction posters

Oral abstract presentations

General sessions will include oral abstract presentations during SOHO 2026. Abstracts considered for oral presentation will be drawn from a select group of outstanding submissions and will be considered for best poster awards.

Abstract submission guidelines

The SOHO Scientific Committee will evaluate the quality of submitted abstracts on the basis of the following criteria: novelty of the research, significance of the findings and clarity. The committee seeks original papers that address scientific questions, demonstrate new research/developments or contain original scientific results specifically related to the treatment of patients with hematologic malignancies. Submitted abstracts must be limited to 350 words or less (abstract body) and represent original work, although previously published work may be used to fulfill this requirement. Submission of isolated case reports and hypotheses unsupported by data is discouraged. SOHO reserves the right to reject any abstract for failure to comply with publication guidelines. Questions regarding the submission process should be directed to the SOHO organizing committee via email to Melinda White at [email protected] .

You may view the poster presentation schedule in the Meeting Program.

All accepted abstract or poster presentations will receive a complimentary registration. Note that reimbursement for travel and hotel expenses is not provided to poster presenters.

Abstract submissions must be made electronically through the online submission page and uploaded in Microsoft Word format. Do not include tables, illustrations, graphs or figures with the abstract. Note, the abstract submission deadline is May 15, 2026.
