They may not have had the money last year to pay up front. They do now, although if they aren't presenting, that would be an unfortunately loss of funds.

How much?

Industry Expert Theater:
Apply to participate in an Industry Expert Theater where you will have the exclusive opportunity to give live, non-accredited educational presentations to up to 200 attendees.

Cost: $47,500

Application Deadline: Wednesday, March 6, 2019.

I wonder whether they already made their application for the Industry Expert Theater, since the (original) deadline is already passed.
The cost is "not inexpensive", but IF NWBO has some good news to announce by ASCO, then this would be a nice venue to make an announcement. Even if does not include any abstract etc. Could the impact of having an announcement in the Industry Expert Theater be measured in Millions of Dollars perhaps? Then it could still be a wise decision to reserve the theater "just in case" the timing works out whereby they can make an announcement. (Especially if there is some kind of cancellation deadline, where they are not out the full $47,500 if they have nothing to report yet by ASCO).
