22nd Annual PSC Partners Conference + AASLD Liver Meeting
November 5-8, 2026 | Denver, CO
We’re thrilled to announce that this year’s PSC Partners Conference is partnering with the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) and their annual world-renowned meeting in Denver.
The PSC Partners Conference will take place on Thursday, November 5 and then we’re headed to The Liver Meeting together from November 6-8. Bringing these experiences together creates a unique chance to connect as a community and engage more deeply with the broader liver field.
You’ll have a full day dedicated to the PSC community, including research updates, expert speakers, and meaningful time together, followed by the opportunity to attend The Liver Meeting alongside PSC Partners staff as our guests.
AASLD will be holding 11 patient and caregiver sessions at The Liver Meeting developed with input from their Patient Advisory Group. These sessions cover a wide range of liver diseases and conditions and important topics, offering expanded access to leading research updates, clinical insights, and expert perspectives. This approach allows us to maintain a focused PSC Partners experience while also connecting our community to the larger hepatology field in a meaningful way.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is AASLD?
The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) is the leading professional organization for scientists and healthcare providers working in liver disease.
Their annual meeting, The Liver Meeting, brings together approximately 10,000 hepatologists, researchers, and clinicians from around the world to share research, clinical advances, and education.
This is the first time that The Liver Meeting has met in Denver, and we saw it as a special, one-time opportunity to connect our community with this international gathering.
Why is the event attached to AASLD?
Holding our Annual Conference alongside The Liver Meeting creates a unique opportunity for our community to:
- Be present at one of the world’s leading liver research meetings
- Hear the latest updates in liver disease research directly from experts
- Strengthen connections between PSC patients, caregivers, clinicians, and researchers

We deeply value our teen community and are committed to ensuring that we have teen-focused space and programming at our Spring 2027 Annual Conference.
