Why the Kidney Disease Impact Conference Matters

Kidney disease often develops alongside other chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. These conditions can damage the kidneys over time and may lead to serious health problems if not managed early. KDIC helps bring awareness to these connections while providing clear, helpful information on how chronic diseases affect kidney health—and what can be done to reduce risk and improve outcomes.

Expert Speakers, Practical Learning, and Keynote Presentations

KDIC is designed to be informative, supportive, and accessible. Sessions focus on practical ideas that can be used in healthcare settings, classrooms, community programs, and everyday life. You’ll hear from experts and community leaders, learn about current challenges in kidney and mental health, and connect with others who share your commitment to making a difference.

In addition to keynote presentations, KDIC features a wide range of educational speakers who dive deeper into topics that matter most to people affected by kidney disease.

Sessions are designed to be practical and useful, offering guidance on:
  • Managing chronic disease in a more connected, human-centered way
  • Understanding how mental health affects physical health
  • Using telehealth to improve access to care
  • Supporting emotional strength and resilience for people living with chronic illness
  • Preventing mental health challenges before they grow
Whether you are a healthcare professional, caregiver, patient advocate, or student, the content is clear, engaging, and focused on real-world application.

Vendors, Resources, and Community Support

The conference also features vendors and resource partners offering access to the latest products, services, and tools that support people living with kidney disease.

Sponsors and exhibitors will be available to share information, answer questions, and provide guidance from experts who understand the unique challenges faced by individuals with kidney disease, heart disease, diabetes, and related conditions.

This creates a supportive environment where attendees can learn, ask questions, and discover helpful resources all in one place.
