Join FSR for our Third Annual Virtual Sarcoidosis Education Summit: Unveiling Possibilities!
This year’s Summit will include tracks like Sarcoidosis 101 and Chronic Sarcoidosis. With a new slate of experts, topics, and guest speakers, FSR’s Virtual Patient Education Summit will be packed with opportunities to learn more about sarcoidosis, and how to live the best life possible while managing this disease.
All of our fantastic networking opportunities will be back as well! Connect with others, meet new friends, or chat with old buddies throughout. Remember, even if you are unable to attend on the summit’s specific dates, the entire platform, including all the sessions, remains open until September 30, 2022, leaving you plenty of time to explore, watch sessions, and continue to connect with others.
- Early Bird Registration: April 25 – June 30th: $60
- General Admission: July 1 – July 26th: $75
Thanks to our amazing donors, we have a limited number of scholarships for patients and their loved ones. The Scholarship window is open during the Early Bird Registration period (April 25-June 30th) or until scholarships have all been awarded, whichever comes first. Apply for a scholarship here.
