ACR Convergence 2020, the world’s premier virtual rheumatology experience, is happening online, November 5–9. We’ve reimagined the ACR’s annual meeting without losing the elements you care about most: stellar rheumatology education and outstanding networking opportunities. This fully virtual meeting is where rheumatology can collaborate, celebrate, innovate, and learn!
Your presence and participation are what make the meeting an enriching and valuable experience. We hope you will engage with us each step of the way, so that together we build an even stronger sense of community.
