The Sickle Cell Disease Association of America Inc., a national nonprofit membership organization that advocates for people affected by sickle cell disease, will hold its 52nd annual national convention. The four-day multidisciplinary convention — following the theme “Momentum: A Journey into a New Sickle Cell Era” — will address sickle cell disease and sickle cell trait, drawing hundreds of health care professionals, patients, families, community-based organizations, leaders and advocates.

Convention events include exhibit hall presentations, advocacy lectures, clinical trial updates, educational workshops, medical reports, panel discussions, award presentations, social events, an art exhibit and an evening gala. Participants will have the opportunity to connect and interact with health care leaders and professionals and gain new relationships, knowledge and resources.
