and Autoimmune Disorders

Welcome from Conference Chair

Dear colleagues and friends,

On behalf of the organizing committee of the 13th Baltic Conference on Multiple sclerosis and Autoimmune Disorders I would like to welcome you in Tallinn on May 22th, 2026.

The program of the conference this year is again very interesting. We cover as always hot topics in Multiple sclerosis from contemporary therapies to bladder management presented by the main author of new guidelines professor Mario Habek. The session for autoimmune diseases is this year really outstanding. Professor Jacqueline Palace is presenting new data on neuromyelitis optica and anti-mog antibody spectrum diseases. The third topic in focus this year is mysterious sarcoidosis analyzed by professor Aki Hietaharju. Professor Paulus Rommer shares his vast experience on new contemporary therapies in autoimmune diseases.

Also, as always, our Baltic colleagues have prepared talks on hot topics in multiple sclerosis and autoimmune diseases.

Importantly, this year the whole session will be dedicated to case reports. This is an extraordinary opportunity to get the second opinion about difficult cases from world experts.

Please join us in Tallinn, you are so very warmly welcome!
