2025 Global Myositis Patient Conference

September 18–21, 2025
Sheraton Dallas Hotel
Dallas, TX, US

Heroes in the Fight is a celebration of leadership, resilience, science, and care in myositis. 2025 marks the fourth annual event hosted by TMA to celebrate the strength of our patient community. We also pay tribute to the dedicated researchers making progress in myositis. Finally, we recognize the myositis experienced clinicians providing extraordinary care to families affected by this rare collection of diseases.

This special gala takes place during TMA’s 30th MyoCon (separate tickets required with $75 registration/donation). Stay tuned as we share more details on the outstanding individuals and institutions who will be applauded for their efforts to achieve a world without myositis.
