ILADS Hosts 26th Annual Scientific Conference in San Antonio, Texas

The International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS) is proud to announce its 26th Annual Scientific Conference, taking place from October 9-12, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas. This highly regarded event will take place at the Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk and will bring together leading clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals (MDs, DOs, NDs, PAs, NPs, RNs) from around the world to explore the latest advancements in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses.

“The ILADS 2025 Fall Scientific Conference is more than just a meeting—it’s a gathering of the brightest minds, most dedicated clinicians, and most innovative researchers in the fight against Lyme and other vector-borne diseases, said Amy Offutt, President of ILADS. “The 2025 program reflects this momentum, featuring sessions on cutting-edge biomarkers, novel therapeutic protocols, and interdisciplinary approaches that bridge the gap between research and real-world patient care. Attendees will be at the forefront of change, helping to shape the next chapter in the fight against vector-borne diseases.”

Themed “From Terrain to Treatment: Advances in Vector-Borne Illness,” the 26th annual ILADS Scientific Conference comes at a pivotal moment, as research into persistent Lyme disease, co-infections, and innovative treatment strategies has been advancing at an unprecedented pace. With growing public awareness, significant policy developments, and rapid progress in diagnostic technologies, the field is evolving quickly. This four-day event will feature science-based lectures, panel discussions, and case presentations led by experts in Lyme disease, tick-borne infections, and related complex conditions.

This year’s ILADS Scientific Conference also introduces several new features designed to enhance the learning experience, including an IV Therapies Workshop for hands-on skill-building with expert instruction, and Small Group Deep Dives that offer focused, in-depth learning with subject matter specialists. Attendees can also choose from a variety of breakout tracks covering key topics such as Pregnancy & Tick-Borne Illness, Pediatric Lyme, Integrative Therapies, and Neuromodulation & Brain Health. The week will culminate with the ILADEF Gala Fundraiser on Saturday, October 11.
Sarah Quillen, Executive Director of ILADS, shares, “The increasing incidence of Lyme disease and persistent post-treatment syndromes, coupled with an expanding recognition of tick-borne diseases’ complexity highlights the urgent need for critical interdisciplinary insights. This conference will offer attendees an energizing variety of in-person networking to connect with fellow clinicians, researchers, and industry leaders on the latest scientific findings and therapeutic strategies.”
