As you know, WCN’21 will be held as a virtual congress, accessible online, connecting our delegates wherever they are in the world.

 

Throughout its 60-year history, the ISN World Congress of Nephrology has always reflected the spirit of the times, evolving to meet new needs and advance kidney health worldwide. The safety and well-being of our members, their patients, and the public remains our primary concern and guides the planning process to deliver WCN'21 in a new format.

 

The congress will be held for five days from April 15-19, 2021, and will offer both live sessions and on-demand asynchronous sessions.

 

To make participating in Virtual WCN’21 as accessible as possible, one registration fee grants access to pre-congress courses, the congress, the ISN Community Film Event, and the Global Kidney Policy Forum. All recorded content will remain available to participants for several weeks after the congress.
