The LAM Foundation has funding available to support travel expenses (hotel, airfare, and/or mileage) for first-time attendees to the International LAM Research Conference & LAMposium.

These funds are specifically designated for patients attending the conference for the first time and can also support one additional person accompanying them. We hope to welcome as many newly diagnosed and first-time attendees as possible.

Patients and a support person will be responsible for paying the regular conference registration fee of $75 per person.

The LAM Foundation has limited funds available to provide reimbursement of travel costs (hotel, airfare, and/or mileage) for one member of a LAM Clinic who is in direct contact with LAM patients to attend the conference in Kansas City.  The LAM Clinic Director Meeting Travel Reimbursement (MToR) program offers up to $1,000 for US clinics and $1,200 for international clinics and can be used to cover travel costs for the LAM Clinic Director or that of another staff member (e.g., clinic co-director, fellow or junior faculty member interested in the field, research coordinator etc.).  Conference registration is NOT included in the reimbursement.

LAM Clinic Directors in attendance at the conference are invited to attend the LAM Clinic Director Congress, chaired by Clinical Advisory Board Co-Chairs Robert Kotloff, MD and Matthew Koslow, MD, on Friday, September 26, at the 2025 International LAM Research Conference & LAMposium. LAM Clinic Directors will meet for dinner to discuss interesting case presentations along with strategies for turning such clinical work into meaningful collaboration and scholarship.  In addition, there will be a Saturday luncheon meeting, which will be a more informal time to connect and discuss topics relevant to running a LAM clinic.
