Questions people ask

5 answered

The summit starts November 13, 2026.

The summit is held in Galveston, Texas.

The published audience includes patients, nephrologists, regulators, and industry leaders.

It is most useful for nephrologists, trial investigators and industry clinical development staff working on glomerular disease, since the speaker list is large and mixes academic centres such as Ohio State, Leicester and Imperial College London with companies like Vertex, Biogen and Boehringer Ingelheim. Clinicians outside kidney disease or those wanting general clinical research training would get less, as the focus is a single disease area, though patients and regulators also attend.

Attendees at academic and clinical research meetings usually wear business casual, with pharma staff often a notch smarter.
