Join us in person in Baltimore or join us from the comfort of your own home. We’ve also extended the early registration deadline to September 17 to give you more time to make your plans to join us.

IPPS remains fully committed to holding a successful annual meeting at the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel this October.

As the IPPS Annual Scientific Meeting approaches, we want to address any concerns you may be having as it relates to COVID-19 and the Delta variant. We are planning to hold an in-person meeting and are closely monitoring CDC updates and recommendations.

The NVA is requesting research proposals on (i) potential causes of vulvodynia and (ii) promising treatments for vulvodynia. Grant amounts range from $30,000 to $50,000.
