Fostering global collaboration around Kawasaki disease
Meet The 2027 Presidents
Exciting News!
Following the success of the 14th International Kawasaki Disease Symposium (IKDS) in Montreal, we are thrilled to announce that the 15th IKDS will take place in Japan in 2027! This will be a special homecoming for our KD community, marking a return to the country where Dr. Tomisaku Kawasaki first discovered the disease.
We look forward to reuniting with colleagues from around the world to continue advancing the science and care for KD patients. Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for being part of this incredible journey!
In 2024, the 14th IKDS was held in Montréal, Canada. This marked the 40th anniversary of the first IKDS that took place in Hawaii in 1984. This meeting is a wonderful tradition, bringing our Kawasaki disease (KD) community together every three years to advance the science of KD and honor the late Dr Tomisaku Kawasaki.
