Update on 2027 National Family Conference and Chapter Family Days

Family Day 2026

We want to share an important update to our 2027 event plans. After careful consideration, Cure JM will not be hosting a National Family Conference in June 2027 as previously planned.

Instead, we are focusing on expanding and strengthening our Chapter Family Days across the country. In 2027, we will host approximately 20 regional gatherings, including six new locations, allowing us to reach more families where they are.

Over the past several years, Chapter Family Days have become one of the most impactful ways we connect families to care, clinical experts, and one another. By investing in these local events, we are able to increase access, deepen engagement, and ensure more families can participate.

We are also beginning to evaluate the potential for a future National Family Conference in 2028.

We are grateful to our community for your understanding and partnership as we continue to evolve our approach to best serve families living with juvenile myositis. If you have any questions, please contact Shannon.Malloy@curejm.org.
