 The ILC Conferences & Webinars

The ILC has hosted medical workshops, scientific meetings, and accredited conferences since 2011.  These events have brought together multidisciplinary specialists and patients together to advance understanding about Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes and the cluster of comorbid conditions it represents, especially in the hypermobile subtype. These events have helped to raise awareness about Chronic Pain as a symptom of a hereditary condition, as opposed to being viewed as a disease in its own right.

Educational focus is centered on current best evidence from leading Canadian and international specialists while providing healthcare professionals and patients resources to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

With the impact of COVID, The ILC is expanding its ability to offer important education via webinar presentations.  We look forward to returning to in-person conferences in the future, as funds allow and where the social impact of being together with our peers is so important.

Overview

The ILC has been the catalyst in having created a platform of participation through which multidisciplinary clinicians and researchers, patient groups and non-profits can expand the types of resources provided to members.

While the pre-COVID in-person format provided great opportunities for networking between professional peers and individuals alike, we have no doubt that web-conferencing format will allow individuals to connect in equally meaningful ways.

Each year, we work to bring world renowned multidisciplinary speakers to present on their respective areas of expertise. Healthcare professionals, individuals and caregivers attend with a genuine interest to improve the level of understanding, care and support services that can be provided through knowledge sharing.
