Event Statement - World Orphan Drug Congress USA

A message from our General Manager

Dear Colleagues and Partners,

We are writing to share an important update about our 2027 event calendar.

We will no longer be running the World Orphan Drug Congress USA in 2027. This has been a very difficult decision to make as the event has been central to bringing awareness, collaboration, and progress to the entire rare disease ecosystem for over a decade.

We thank you for your commitment to the event over the years and apologise for any inconvenience that this change causes to your 2027 planning schedule. We will however still be running our European World Orphan Drug Congress in Amsterdam 26-28 October this year. We hope that you will still want to join us over the next events below that have significant rare disease sessions:

We certainly expect to see many of our attendees from the Orphan event here to continue the networks built up over the years. If you would like to transfer your WODC USA 2027 pass to one of these events, or if you would like to cancel your pass - please get in touch .

Sincerely,
Wing-Yun Cheung
General Manager
