Frequently Asked Questions
What is WorldMEN?
WorldMEN is the international workshop on Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia and other rare endocrine tumors. The first meeting, held in Canada in 1984, brought the world's MEN experts together in the search for the genes behind the syndromes, an effort that led to the discovery of RET and MEN1. The group's work has since produced widely cited papers, consensus statements and guidelines.
Who should attend?
WorldMEN is multidisciplinary. It brings together basic scientists, geneticists, endocrinologists, oncologists, surgeons, pathologists, gastroenterologists, radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians, along with trainees in each of these fields.
When and where is WorldMEN 2027?
June 1–3, 2027, at the Hilton Tampa Downtown in Tampa, Florida. The meeting is held in person.
Who can submit an abstract?
Anyone working on MEN syndromes and related rare endocrine tumors can submit original research or case reports of clear originality. The presenting author must be registered for the meeting. There is no limit on the number of abstracts per author.
