One of the key components to the success of the Miami Breast Cancer Conference is the safety of our attendees and presenters. Due to the popularity of some course topics, it is possible for overcrowding to occur in a course or meeting room. Should this occur, we must comply with the Fire Marshal's policies regarding room capacity and limit admittance to a room that is at capacity.
