ACCME CREDITS

We’re excited to announce the 2nd annual ALD-ALLY (Alcohol-associated Liver Disease patients deserve ALcohol LiteracY) Conference, scheduled on April 10, 2026.


This one-day CME conference is designed to meet the educational needs of healthcare professionals. It will facilitate intimate dialogues among experts, providers, and stakeholders, aiming to enhance collaboration, advocacy, research, and care delivery for patients with Alcohol-Associated Liver Disease (ALD). Our goal is to foster meaningful discussions that will advance the field of ALD and MetALD.


The conference will kick off on Friday morning, with the exhibits open from breakfast until the conclusion of the evening reception.  A light reception will take place in the exhibit hall immediately following the last presentation. All breaks will be held in the exhibit hall to encourage attendee engagement and foot traffic throughout the space. ALD-ALLY is a call to action for advancing the science and care of patients with alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) by gathering international experts to lead a multidisciplinary dialogue among a wide spectrum of stakeholders. Our intent is for ALD-ALLY to become the premier annual ALD meeting focused on actionable initiatives and collaborations through state-of-the-art lectures, academic debates, and patient advocacy in a lively in-person, discussion-encouraged setting. Be an ALLY and join us in New York!
