Conference Agenda

The conference is curated as a three-day journey to the future of MG. Each day features a renowned plenary keynote speaker followed by a variety of sessions, talks, panels, roundtable discussions, and interactive debates. The first day will encompass a nod to the “past,” with a fresh lens on the historical knowledge and  progress that has been made, an interactive panel with international patients, and a deep dive into special populations within the mg community. This leads into Day 2, a “present” exploration of the current landscape and a direct confrontation of its shortcomings through lively debates, a full session on CMS, and parallel sessions to dive deeply into basic and clinical topics. The event culminates on Day 3 with a bold invitation to envision and take aim toward a future World Without MG through instigative debates, lively discussion, and presentations of the most promising work from the premier thought and change leaders around the globe.
