Registration is now live for EndoFound's signature annual events, Medical Conference and Patient Day. This year's theme explores the fascinating connection between the vagus nerve and endometriosis, examining how nerves play a central role in endometriosis pain. Join us in Times Square, New York City to learn from leading experts, connect with fellow warriors, and gain insights to further expand your understanding of this condition.
The weekend will kick off on Friday, March 6th & Saturday, March 7th with the Medical Conference, our annual two-day international conference which will bring together over 35 leading experts to bridge advanced neuroscience with advanced endometriosis surgery. Endometriosis 2026: A Nerve-Centric Disease is the first meeting in the field to place the nervous system at the center of endometriosis biology and surgical care.
This year’s program, honoring Dr. Assia Stepanian and Dr. Sun-Wei Guo, reframes endometriosis as a neuroinflammatory, nerve-driven disease extending beyond the pelvis, exploring neuro-immune signaling, neuroangiogenesis, perineural fibrosis, and organ-specific pain across pelvic and extra-pelvic disease, including thoracic and sciatic endometriosis. Through integrated science and surgery sessions, the conference will advance understanding from molecular and neural circuits to real-world diagnosis, treatment, surgical management, pain control, and multidisciplinary care for clinicians, researchers, patients, caregivers, and advocates.
We highly encourage patients to attend the second day of the Medical Conference, as well as the patient networking reception held on Saturday night to kickoff Patient Day on Sunday, March 8th.
Patient Day is our annual full-day conference that brings together endometriosis patients, loved ones, caregivers, healthcare professionals, researchers, and advocates for education, connection, and support. The event creates a welcoming space where the endometriosis community can come together to learn, share experiences, and build meaningful connections. Through engaging discussions led by physicians, researchers, patient advocates, patients and thought leaders, Patient Day highlights the latest advancements in endometriosis diagnosis, treatment, and care. As a patient or caregiver, you’ll be sure to leave with trusted information, practical resources, and empowering insights to better manage your health and live your best life with endometriosis.
Register today, for Medical Conference, Patient Day, or the full weekend. We can't wait to see you.
