From September/October 2005 Psoriasis Advance

Nearly 400 people gathered in the historic Boston Park Plaza Hotel Aug. 5-7 for the National Psoriasis Foundation® 2005 National Conference, and they came away with new friends and hope.

Titled "The Road Ahead: Mapping Your Future," the conference provided attendees with information about new treatments, tools to improve daily living and opportunities to advocate for increased research funding and awareness.

The images of joy, camaraderie, support and learning on these pages convey the experience that was shared by hundreds of people in Boston.
