MyoCon: TMA’s 2025 Global Myositis Patient Conference was another wonderful myositis family reunion in Dallas, Texas, USA on September 18–21. The conference, together with the fourth annual Heroes in the Fight Awards gala and culminating on World Myositis Day, September 21, made this an event we will long remember!
If you missed this year’s event or want to start planning for next year, mark your calendar for September 24-27 in St. Louis, Missouri!

Here is a sample of two important presentations from MyoCon 2025:
- Cancer and Its Implications for Myositis – Presented by Dr. Lisa Christopher-Stine, Director of Johns Hopkins University Myositis Center
- Travel Accessibility and Current US Policy Environment – Presented by Mindy Henderson, Vice President of Disability Outreach & Empowerment at MDA

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.
