Welcome to PANLAR 2026

Dear colleagues and friends:

On behalf of the organizing committee, it is an honor to warmly welcome you to Panama City for the PANLAR Congress, to be held from April 27 to 30, 2026. This meeting represents a unique opportunity to bring together rheumatologists, related specialists, researchers, and health professionals from all member countries, with the common purpose of sharing knowledge, experiences, and advances in our discipline.

During these days, we will have the opportunity to participate in keynote lectures, symposiums, interactive workshops, and presentations of scientific papers covering the latest advances in the diagnosis, treatment, and comprehensive management of rheumatic diseases. We will also have discussion forums that will encourage the exchange of ideas that strengthen our scientific and professional community.

Panama City, with its cosmopolitan character, rich history, and vibrant culture, welcomes you with open arms. We hope you will enjoy not only the intense academic agenda, but also the tourist, gastronomic, and cultural attractions our city has to offer.

We appreciate your presence, your enthusiasm, and your commitment to excellence in rheumatology. We are confident that this congress will be an enriching experience for all and another step toward advancing care and research for the benefit of our patients.

Welcome to the PANLAR Congress and Panama City!

Sincerely,

Generoso Guerra B.
President of the PANLAR 2026 Congress
