The first 5 congresses in Florence 2010, Madrid 2012, Rome 2014, Lisbon 2016, Bordeaux 2018, and two online in 2020 and 2022 have been a success contributing to the knowledge about systemic sclerosis all over the world. Colleagues from different specialties, junior trainees, health professionals and patients from all over the world have contributed to the high scientific profile of the congresses in interactive clinical and basic sessions. Along with the medical component of the congress also the patient program has grown significantly becoming extensive and well attended.

We believe that the 8th World Scleroderma Congress will be a significant challenge providing the combination of hands-on workshops, lectures, oral presentations and satellite sessions will provide an exciting mix of experiences that will be put at disposal to all attendees that devote their work to people with scleroderma.

We hope you will join us, finally to be all together in Prague in 2024 for a new and stimulating experience in the world of scleroderma.
