The Ehlers-Danlos Society invites you to join us for the 2026 Global Learning Conference – a hybrid event designed for individuals and families impacted by Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD), as well as healthcare professionals and caregivers.
Over three days, you’ll hear from global experts through presentations, case studies, and panel discussions focusing on managing comorbidities and understanding the connections between body systems.
Topics include:
● Mental health concerns
● Neurodivergence
● Chronic pain & fatigue
● Mast cell activation disorders
● Dysautonomia & cardiovascular health
● Gastrointestinal concerns
● Urogenital conditions
Comorbidities are health conditions that occur alongside a primary diagnosis. For people with EDS and HSD, these can include a wide range of issues affecting many different systems in the body, such as the heart, nervous system, digestive system, immune system, and mental health.
They can add complexity to daily life and make diagnosis and treatment more challenging but understanding them is key to getting the right care and support.
This event is open to:
● People living with EDS or HSD
● Families, friends, and caregivers
● Healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses, allied health)
● Healthcare providers and advocates
To accommodate our global community, we are pleased to offer a fully hybrid event and flexible registration options. Participants can choose to attend in person or virtually, ensuring access to all conference sessions, workshops, and networking opportunities via our event app Whova.
