For far too many Lyme and tick-borne disease patients, getting a diagnosis often involves years of appointments, unanswered questions, and being passed from one provider to the next.

In one large survey, more than half of chronic Lyme patients saw 7 or more doctors before being diagnosed.

We want that road to be shorter – and that's exactly why clinician education is so important.

The 2026 ILADS Annual Scientific Conference brings healthcare professionals together to deepen their understanding of Lyme and tick-borne disease and improve the care patients receive.

📍 Hyatt Regency Dulles | Herndon, VA
📅 October 22–25
