Join us in the “Crossroads of the West,” for ITP Conference 2026!
This year, PDSA will host its 26th annual update on immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) for patients, caregivers and the medical community in Salt Lake City, UT July 24-26. This year’s patient conference will take place at the Hyatt Regency Salt Lake City, in the Center City District. Each year the ITP conference provides opportunities to hear the latest information about ITP, meet others who are coping and living with ITP and receive answers to your medical questions. You will also have the opportunity to ask your questions to PDSA’s medical advisors, who are some of the most experienced ITP doctors in the world. You don’t want to miss out on this tremendous opportunity to hear and talk with these world-renowned experts.
In addition to the educational program and social events, our conference will feature several small group sessions to give you an opportunity to get to know other patients and caregivers in an intimate environment. We will also offer programs for children at our Kids Kamp for children ages 5-12. Like conferences in the past, this year’s conference will provide a separate track for teens and young adults.
