Our MyIBD Learning Patient & Caregiver Education Conferences bring you the very latest inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) research, treatments, and therapies to share resources and improve your quality of life, at any stage of your IBD journey.

This year’s program includes our Morning of Culture, a special highlight session for the Black/African American community. Join us for a special breakfast to hear expert speakers share the latest information and answer your questions about Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Come together with other IBD patients and caregivers to build a local community of support.
