Overview Day #1 (Wednesday, June 14) – Don't miss these sessions!

The best way to stay organized at EULAR 2017 is by downloading the official EULAR 2017 Meeting App.

Wednesday, June 14, 2017 is the first day of official scientific meeting events. The Europeans do things right with the day starting at 1300 with a Health Professionals Welcome Session that will include information about the conference and other resources. At 1500 things really take off with some splendid offerings across a plethora of rheumatic diseases.

For the Overview of Day #1, I′m going to do things a little differently and organize the day into the categories of Basic Science, Clinical Science, Abstract Sessions, HOT & WIN Sessions (How to Treat and What is New), and Practical Sessions. This may give a better overview of the day and provide more relevance when you′re deciding what to attend and what to skip!
