Register for our 2026 annual Virtual Summit! This all-day event features RLS experts who will provide an overview of the changes, updates and additions to soon-to-be RLS treatment guidelines developed by a committee of the RLS Foundation's Scientific and Medical Advisory Board. Attendees can submit questions during each session, to be asked and answered in the Q&A session at the end of the day.

To access the event, you will need to have a Whova account. Whova uniquely allows you to engage with the community, rather than just being a viewer. You can connect with other attendees by responding to icebreakers, sharing your RLS story, or creating your own forum with a discussion topic.

Please note that presentations awill only be available through 11:59 pm on Friday, May 8 within the Whova platform. Presentations are not recorded and made available after that time.

This event requires a valid email and an electronic device with internet access.

After registration, you will receive a confirmation email. On the following business day you will receive another email from Whova with instructions for creating your new account or for accessing your existing Whova account.
