Cedars-Sinai to Host Inflammatory Bowel Disease & Women’s Health Conference

WHAT

The 2026 IBD & Women's Health Conference is a one-day symposium designed specifically for women at every stage of life who are navigating Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

The morning portion of the conference is for healthcare professionals only and includes presentations about clinical research. The afternoon program is open to the public and will bring together patients, caregivers, healthcare providers and researchers to share the latest clinical insights and foster meaningful community dialogue. Attendees will learn how medical therapies combine with lifestyle strategies, nutrition, and mental well-being to support long-term health.

Women living with inflammatory bowel disease face unique clinical and biological challenges-including hormonal fluctuations and pregnancy-yet specialized resources tailored to their specific needs are rarely central to medical programming. This conference is designed to bridge that gap by delivering the latest on treatment advances and resources directly to the community.

• 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. (Morning Session): Presentations and clinical research discussions for healthcare professionals and scientists only.
