Join us for the WE ARE HERE Community Lupus Symposium, a free educational event dedicated to lupus awareness, education, and action.

Whether you are living with lupus, caring for someone who is, a healthcare professional, student, researcher, or community member, this symposium is designed to bring us together to learn, connect, and inspire change.

Throughout the day, participants will hear from leading healthcare professionals, lupus warriors, caregivers, and community advocates through engaging conversations focused on the latest in lupus research, treatment options, whole-person wellness, kidney health, nutrition, and strategies for living well with lupus.

This is more than an educational conference—it is an opportunity to strengthen partnerships, reduce health disparities, and ensure that every person affected by lupus feels seen, heard, and supported.
