ESPR Annual Conference

The Eastern Society for Pediatric Research (ESPR) is dedicated to promoting the development of multidisciplinary careers in pediatric research, with a strong emphasis on inclusivity among investigators, particularly trainees and junior faculty members. The ESPR Annual Conference serves as a vital gathering that unites a diverse community of researchers to exchange innovative ideas, establish meaningful connections, and update their knowledge within the dynamic field of pediatric research. This annual event is not only a platform for presenting research but also an opportunity for critical review and feedback, fostering an environment where members from various backgrounds can thrive. Taking place at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, the ESPR Annual Conference is anticipated to attract over 400 members from the Northeastern United States and Canada, including regions from Washington, D.C. to Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Quebec. Attendees will benefit from the experience of leading physician-scientists who began their careers with ESPR and have thrived in its supportive atmosphere. The conference particularly emphasizes the importance of early career researchers, providing a friendly and less formal setting for presenting their work. With an accessible membership structure, ESPR remains a valuable resource for both new and long-term members throughout their careers.
