About TMA’s Conference
Since 1995, TMA has brought together the myositis community through our unforgettable Global Myositis Patient Conference. MyoCon is a cornerstone of TMA’s patient education, connection, and support!
Each September, hundreds of attendees and families gather with dozens of myositis specialists and expert presenters on everything related to myositis, its treatment, and how you can live your best life with these debilitating diseases. You’ll find workshops, research-based presentations, content for care partners, information about clinical trials, and much more!
While the value of our educational sessions and exhibit floor is tremendous, for many attendees the chance to meet and make friends with others who have their disease has been life-changing. Make plans now to join us for the 30th annual TMA conference, as well as our popular Heroes in the Fight awards gala.
The official conference hash tag is #MyoCon2025.
