NACFC 2026

One room. Eleven tracks. Four days.

Clinical breakthroughs, late-breaking research, nursing practice, nutrition, pharmacy, social work, and health policy — all running at the same time. You can cover one. Your team can cover all of it.

NACFC 2026 brings together multidisciplinary cystic fibrosis professionals, including physicians, nurses, research scientists, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, nutritionists, social workers, and pharmacists all under one roof. They leave with new ideas, new collaborators, and a renewed sense of why they do this work.

Your team leaves with a plan, not just notes.

One person returns with ideas. A team returns with alignment. The difference between attending NACFC and implementing what you learned there is whether your whole team heard it together.

In person

The best conversations aren't in the sessions.

They're in the hallway afterward. At dinner. At the poster session where two researchers from different centers realize they're working on the same problem. That only happens in person.

“In two minutes, we solved what would have taken 20 emails.”

Attendee perspective

"NACFC is such a powerful experience. The level of dedication and passion behind the shared vision—to improve the lives of patients and ultimately find a cure—is truly astounding. The prognosis for this disease has changed so dramatically that it's impossible not to feel hopeful. This conference inspires you to smile, stay engaged, and listen with true intention."
