Welcome
On behalf of the entire SHSA 2021 planning committee, we hope you will join us online, September 24-26, 2021 for our 6th Annual Symposium on Hidradenitis Suppurativa Advances meeting co-hosted by the Canadian Hidradenitis Suppurativa Foundation (CHSF) and the Hidradenitis Suppurativa Foundation (HSF).
We are planning an extraordinary weekend of live online virtual interactions including; open panel discussions, guided oral & poster presentations with discussion, group breakout & chat rooms with leading experts and exhibit areas.
Our goal this year is to build on our momentum by exceeding the record number of participants at last year’s meeting (nearly four-hundred people)! We thank the national/ international speakers, researchers, clinicians, people affected by HS and our valued sponsors who helped make last year’s first ever virtual conference a huge success.
We plan to highlight current advances in Basic & Translational Science Research, Clinical Trial Design & Outcome Measures, Health Services Research & Epidemiology and expand discussion around HS research with an array of leading-edge guest speakers.
Sincerely,
Isabelle Delorme, MD (Co-Chair)
Joslyn Kirby, MD, MS, MEd. (Co-Chair)
