The workshop will feature sessions on new basic science discoveries in autoimmunity and inflammation, new developments in the diagnosis of vasculitis, and the latest results of treatment trials. Although there will be an emphasis on ANCA disease, sessions will be devoted to many major categories of vasculitis including small, medium and large vessel vasculitis.
Poster Sessions
There will be four poster sessions that will take place in several meeting rooms (Royall, Peebles, Harris/Dowd) in the George Watts Hill Alumni Center/Carolina Club. Maps and staff members will be available to direct you to the right location. Click here for additional details include a list of of poster presenters.

- Session 1: Monday, May 16th @ 11:00am
- Session 2: Monday, May 16th @ 3:00pm
- Session 3: Tuesday, May 17th @ 11:00am
- Session 4: Tuesday, May 17th @ 3:00pm
