EULAR 2019: highlights from the annual conference
BMC Rheumatology & BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders travelled to Madrid for the 20th edition of European Congress of Rheumatology co-organised by theEuropean League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) and Paediatric Rheumatology Society (PReS). This annual conference is the one of the largest international meetings focussed on rheumatic and musculoskeletal disorders (RMDs). EULAR2019 was no different from previous editions with over 14,000 delegates from over 120 countries contributing to 2,226 poster displays and 500 oral presentations. Here we look back at some of the highlights.

One major event in the world calendar of rheumatology
Scientists, patients, rheumatologists and other health professionals met at the IFEMA Centre to discuss recent advances in research and care in the diagnosis and treatment of RMDs. Sunny Madrid is a popular destination for rheumatologists having hosted EULAR on three out of the last seven editions of the conference. Despite the routine focus on rheumatoid arthritis (RA), other topics have shone in recent years, including co-morbidities, patient engagement, and digitalisation in diagnostics and care.
