From AI-driven diagnosis to single-cell transcriptomics to the future of spondyloarthritis,  the field is moving fast. The 2nd Annual Inflammatory Arthritis & Digital Health Symposium brings together the people leading that work.

A full day of expert sessions, exhibitors, and a poster hall, capped by a wine-and-cheese reception and the kind of cross-disciplinary conversations that will keep you engaged!

Join us on Friday, October 16, 2026, at the AC Hotel by Marriott (125 Front Street, Worcester, MA)

Featured faculty:

• Dr. Thomas Hügle (Lausanne University Hospital, Switzerland) — AI in inflammatory arthritis
