International Symposium on the Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to participate in the International Symposium on the Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes from September 26–29, 2018 in beautiful Ghent, Belgium.
The 2018 International Symposium on the EDS will bring together again clinicians and scientists working in the field of the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes. As a general theme for this meeting, we chose: “Interaction and signaling: recurrent themes in the molecular mechanisms of EDS.” The focus of the meeting will be on molecular, pathogenic, clinical, and management aspects of all types of Ehlers-Danlos syndromes.
We strongly encourage clinicians and researchers with an interest in the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes to attend this meeting. We’re expecting between 200 and 250 delegates from all around the world to attend.

Becoming Zebra Strong: The Ehlers-Danlos Society Tour USA 2018
Join Lara Bloom, International Executive Director of The Ehlers-Danlos Society, on a special screening tour of “Issues With My Tissues” hosted by our US Affiliates from Providence, Rhode Island to Los Angeles, California. All events are free and open to the public.
“Issues with my Tissues” follows Lara’s journey as she trains to become the first person with EDS to walk the London Marathon in 2011 at the age of 31, despite having barely walked more than three miles at a time before in her life. This moving, informative documentary features interviews with medical professionals, families with EDS, and individuals who have suffered from misdiagnosis.
Lara will answer questions and discuss how to become “zebra strong” in the face of EDS, HSD, and a myriad of related symptoms and associated conditions.
