world economic downturn threatens the creativity and risk taking so necessary
for further discovery and the financing of the research, medical education, and
the delivery of both established and newly discovered therapies that are
essential for improving the lives of persons with lupus. So LUPUS 2010 occurs at
a time of real crisis in lupus research and care, a time when the opportunities
have never been greater, but the perils are also formidable. The goals of LUPUS
2010 are therefore to emphasize the opportunities while contributing to the
efforts to diminish the risks to further progress in lupus research, education
and care.
The strategy of LUPUS 2010, is to emulate the potlatch of the
indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest, whose cedar long houses became
centers for the potlatch tradition where participants were hosted and housed.
Potlatch meaning "to give away" or "gift" were convocations that were carefully
planned to commemorate significant events in the collective life of an extended
family or clan. Participants brought gifts and all received gifts. Lupus 2010
will be a meeting of the extended family of lupus researchers, clinicians,
educators and persons with lupus that will be carefully planned to optimize the
exchange of knowledge and understanding. Participants will bring gifts of their
personal knowledge and understanding and will exchange these gifts with all
participants. Together, the group will develop a consensus document indicating
the state of the field and the challenges for the future. It is anticipated that
the 2010 Potlatch of the lupus clan will reward and enrich all participants and
point the way toward future developments.
LUPUS 2010, unlike any of the
meetings that persons interested in lupus might attend or have attended will be
distinguished by the active input of all participants and sponsors, its emphasis
on the next generation, intimate venues designed to be interactive and to break
down barriers of language, discipline, status, and focus on the overall goal of
working together to advance the field. Plenary sessions will have broad appeal
and delivered in a manner to be informative to the expert, but also completely
comprehensible to the novice.
LUPUS 2010 will:
1. Review
comprehensively the state of the science and the state of the art in SLE
2.
Identify future opportunities in lupus research, education and care
3.
Identify, assemble, and facilitate the next generation of leaders and provide an
opportunity for mentoring with the current
leaders in SLE
4.
Reduce the cognitive, communication, and conceptual barriers between persons
with lupus, health care providers and
clinical and basic
researchers from different disciplines, and different cultures
5. Close
the gap between what we know, what we do and what we could do worldwide in SLE
therapeutis, medical and
public education, clinical and
fundamental research
