Often people feel overwhelmed when diagnosed with a chronic disease and trying to manage it. Take this opportunity to attend the conference, connect and share ideas and coping strategies with others, learn more about Sjögren's and gain insight and control over your disease!

Experts will answer your burning questions in the unique round table forum. Learn about the products available to manage symptoms directly from exhibitors.
Our core program will include an overview of Sjögren's syndrome, ocular and oral involvement and management options. We will also examine an often not talked about area, but one of great concern for patients with Sjögren's, the obstetric and gynecological symptoms and how to best manage it. You will be inspired by the therapist, Sjögren's patient and co-author of A Body Out of Balance, Understanding and Treating Sjögren's Syndrome discussing how to better cope with your disease and also strategies for your loved ones.
This marvelous event will kick-off with a Friday evening welcome reception, where you will enjoy hor d'ouvres and connecting with other people with your same disease.
