OUR Events

Our two flagship events

Two moments bring the international amyloidosis community together every year: World Amyloidosis Day, our global awareness campaign, and the AL / ATTR International Meeting for Patients and Doctors, where patients and clinicians meet face to face.

Two events, one community

One brings the whole world together on a single day of awareness; the other brings patients and doctors into the same room. Both exist for the same reason: shortening the road to diagnosis.

Awareness campaign

Every 26 October · Worldwide

World Amyloidosis Day

One day, one message: Be the Link. Patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals and patient organisations from every continent unite to make amyloidosis known, and diagnosed sooner.

World Amyloidosis Day

Amyloidosis is a rare and multifaceted disease which is barely known, even among healthcare professionals. Because its symptoms mimic far more common conditions, it takes four years on average to reach a diagnosis: four years during which the damage caused to the organs is often irreversible.

World Amyloidosis Day exists to close that gap. Every 26 October, the international community comes together under one campaign, Be the Link, with medical conferences, concerts, open lectures, press campaigns and patient meetings held in dozens of countries.

Discover the campaign’s story, the actions taking place around the world, and how your organisation can take part in the next edition.

AL / ATTR International Meeting for Patients and Doctors

Patients and the specialists who treat them rarely share the same room. Scientific congresses are built for clinicians and researchers; patient meetings seldom give access to the teams working on the disease. The questions that weigh most in daily life, what to expect, what to watch for, what research is actually changing, are the ones that get the least time.

The International AL / ATTR Meeting for Patients and Doctors was created to close that distance. Since 2017, five editions have brought researchers, clinicians and patient organisations onto the same programme, in language everyone in the audience can follow. The sixth edition, in London in September 2027, is the first to bring the AL and ATTR communities together in a single international event.

The programme, the venue and the registration details will be announced as they are confirmed, on the meeting website.

Around the world

From our members

Patient meetings, medical conferences, awareness campaigns: throughout the year, our member organizations bring the amyloidosis community together in their own countries.

No member event is announced at the moment. They will appear here as soon as the member organizations share them.
