Prepare now to attend this always unforgettable event that features 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. We will have educational workshops, research-based presentations, breakout sessions for all stages of the myositis journey, a focus on care partners, exhibitors, and much more!

While the value of these educational sessions cannot be underestimated, for many attendees the chance to meet and make friends with others who have their disease has been life changing. TMA’s Annual Patient Conference provides one of the only opportunities to connect with the myositis community in this way. It’s one reason many attendees return to this gathering year after year.

We invite you to stay tuned for more information as we finalize plans for the 2024 event. If you are a member of TMA, we will send updates as they become available. If you aren’t currently a member, you can sign up for free and receive all the myositis news and updates.
