JHM HCM Patient Symposium 2026

The symposium takes place at Hilton Garden Inn & Homewood Suites - Inner Harbor in Baltimore, Maryland.

There is no charge to attend, but registration is required for everyone because space is limited.

The stated audience includes patients and families affected by HCM, as well as healthcare professionals.

It is most useful for patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and their families, since it is free, run by the Johns Hopkins HCM Center, and lets attendees meet the Hopkins team, hear about current treatments and talk with other patients. Specialist cardiologists seeking advanced clinical or research content would get less from it, as the format is aimed at patient education, with space limited and registration required.

Attendees at patient education days at hotels usually wear comfortable casual clothing, such as slacks or jeans with a sweater, and Baltimore in mid-November calls for a jacket.
