Examples include (but are not limited to):
- Advisory Board Meetings

- Webcasts

Content and Guidelines for iwCLL Function Space
Ancillary activities should not compete with the iwCLL 2019 agenda or Independent Satellite Symposia. Venues and agendas should be conducive to a scientific interchange. iwCLL 2019 will release and assign space at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC) or the conference headquarters hotel, the Sheraton Grand Hotel, Edinburgh. At that point, the requesting organization will work directly with the EICC or the headquarters hotel to plan the event. For events held outside of the iwCLL 2019 conference or hotel space, iwCLL will determine whether the proposed activity meets the guidelines.
Blackout Times
Organizations may not hold any functions other than approved ancillary events during the defined blackout times unless approved by iwCLL. Failure to have approval to hold any event in these established time frames may result in exclusion from all iwCLL 2019 events (current and future). Blackout times do not apply for exhibitor staff meetings; however, an application must be submitted for approval. Blackout times are as follows:
