Welcome to the 3rd Annual Virtual Sjogren's Summit!

Thank you for your interest in joining us for the 3rd Annual Virtual Sjogren's Summit!

This online event is dedicated to building a supportive community for individuals living with Sjogren's Disease, while providing them with practical tools and resources to manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.

This year, we're placing a special focus on digestion and gut health, an area of crucial importance for those with Sjogren's.

We are honored to have you consider sharing your expertise alongside co-hosts Dr. Kara Wada, an immunologist who also lives with Sjogren's, and Cristina Montoya, RD, a registered dietician specializing in autoimmune conditions who lives with Sjogren’s and RA.

Crafting Your Session

We believe in offering flexibility, so you can choose to present your session in a way that feels most comfortable for you:

Pre-recorded Presentation: Share your knowledge in a polished and engaging presentation format.
Live Interview: Engage in a dynamic conversation with one of our hosts, allowing for a more conversational and spontaneous approach.

Sessions should be approximately 15-20 minutes* long and provide actionable information that our audience can apply to their own lives.

We encourage you to offer a valuable free resource to attendees, further solidifying your position as an expert and building a connection with your audience. You'll also have the opportunity to promote one of your own products or services relevant to the Sjogren's community.

*unless otherwise discussed with Dr. Kara or Cristina
