Since its founding in 2011, World Vitiligo Day has become a global event with the purpose of raising awareness of vitiligo. In the U.S., World Vitiligo Day now spans an entire weekend in which people with vitiligo come together to connect, celebrate, and learn more about their condition. This year, over 250 members of the vitiligo community gathered together in Atlanta, Georgia, from June 23 through 25.
Check out the recap of this year's event below, and check MyVitiligoTeam for updates about World Vitiligo Day-USA 2024 — coming soon!

Hey, guys. Litty Ligo here. This is my first conference, and it is wonderful. We are having such a great time. We have such wonderful speakers. We have great activities for the kids.

We're not just thinking locally or nationally. We're thinking internationally to try to advocate for more research.

Dr. John Harris
We've been studying vitiligo actually for six years together. We're going to learn about genetics, environmental exposures, inflammation. We think they all communicate together.

I am here in Atlanta to make sure that we are hearing patient voices, which is for me the most important thing.
