The International SLE Congress is a triennial meeting in which patients, physicians and researchers come together to share the latest developments in lupus. The next International Lupus Congress will be held in June 2010 in Vancouver, Canada. The event's activities will include simultaneous 3-day professional and patient education programs symposiums featuring presentations from over sixty of the world's top lupus research and outreach experts, and a gala Congress dinner.

The International Congress highlights advances in knowledge about the causes and symptoms of lupus as well as new treatments for this disease. The Lupus Foundation of America encourages lupus patient organizations to follow the reports that will come forth from this Congress.
