About the Lupus & You Empowerment Conference

The Lupus Foundation of America’s Lupus & You: Pittsburgh Empowerment Conference is an in-person event that celebrates, inspires, supports, and uplifts lupus warriors, care partners, family, and friends. The event is designed to empower attendees through expert-led sessions that will help them better navigate a life with lupus and make meaningful connections with other attendees that will last far beyond the day’s event.

During registration and again at lunch, AHN will be offering complimentary biometric screenings for attendees. Be sure to arrive early so you have plenty of time to take advantage of this opportunity!

Lunch will be provided. Coffee and tea will be available during all day; however, a full breakfast will not be served, so please plan accordingly.

There is no fee associated with attending the event.
