Annual ICN Live Online Community Conferences are an opportunity for anyone who may be interested - patients, parents/caregivers, clinicians, researchers, collaborators, improvers, friends - to join us for a convenient virtual meeting format. Leveraging the collaborative power of our Learning Health Community, we come together to explore important and timely IBD topics, to raise awareness of the IBD lived experience, share new information and best practices, ask questions and move forward together to advance our mission of transforming health, care and costs for all children and adolescents with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

As you consider what you're most excited to learn, and think about the LOCC insights you want to discuss and share with others in the IBD community, please consider connecting with us on social media: @ImproveCareNow on X/Twitter, Instagram & Facebook so you can join and continue the conversation no matter where you are!

Our Spring 2024 Live Online Community Conference hashtag - #ICNCC24S - was created via Symplur and the Healthcare Hashtag Project, which is aimed at connecting the dots in healthcare social media. By including #ICNCC24S in posts and tweets from and about the LOCC we can generate and share learning and ideas, make connections with our colleagues and community, and spread awareness of ImproveCareNow and IBD 💚💙
