Dear TLC Community,
We hope this message finds you well.
After thoughtful consideration, we regret to announce that the TLC 2025 Annual BFRB Conference will not take place this year.
While this was a difficult decision, we believe it will allow us to dedicate more time and resources to planning an even more enriching experience for TLC 2026, featuring expanded programming focused on the latest research findings, a broader lineup of international presenters, and deeper, more meaningful activities that celebrate and engage our vibrant community.
We are deeply grateful for your continued support, and we look forward to welcoming you with open arms next year for a reimagined and revitalized gathering.
