In the Rheum
These are not your old school Annual Meeting lectures. In the Rheum chats are only 30 minutes long and designed to be interactive and engaging. Speakers will explore cutting-edge topics facing rheumatologists today, download the latest research findings and dive into discussion and debate on how to tackle pressing challenges in clinical care.

RheumConnect Hours:

  • Sunday–Tuesday: 8 a.m.–6 p.m.; and
  • Wednesday: 8 a.m.–12:30 p.m.

Interactive Session Room
When attendees step into some of the lecture spaces at the Annual Meeting, arrangements will be different from what they expect and—hopefully—more inviting than the typical conference room: The space will be decked out with comfy armchairs, couches and café tables to perch lattés and/or laptops on.

The space will feature fresh learning formats in a relaxed environment, creating an ideal setting for a truly cool slate of sessions, including the new Recharge Me series, which offers practical tips to energize the spirit and boost wellness. Attendees will be able to interact with fellow professionals about new data from a poster or learn how to wrestle with a new electronic health records system. The space is designed to encourage interactivity and facilitate networking.

Arrive early, and snag the best seat on the couch.

Late-Breaking & Pediatric E-Posters
This year, the late-breaking and pediatric posters have gone digital. Visit the front of the Poster Hall, located in Hall B5, Building B, Level 1, to view the new e-posters.

Poster Hall Hours, Sunday–Tuesday

  • Posters on Display: 8:30 a.m.–4 p.m.
  • Poster Presenters Available: 9–11 a.m.

Wellness Pavilion
Last, but not least, attendees will have a chance to enjoy the ACR’s Wellness Pavilion, located in the Exhibit Hall, where attendees can unwind and relax. Each day, the pavilion will feature massage chairs, the Expressions of Clinician Well-Being Art Gallery, a coloring wall and visits from therapy animals.
