30+ Endometriosis Awareness Month 2026 Events: Conferences, Marches & Community Gatherings

March is officially upon us! Grab your yellow, because it is time to build your community with this full list of both in-person and virtual events. I had the pleasure of starting my awareness month early in Baltimore for their CIAA Health and Wellness Summit seeing my good Endo Sister Lauren Kornegay from EndoBlack speak, and it gave me the spark I needed to start March of strong!

Every March, the endometriosis community comes alive with conferences, marches, galas, and gatherings that transform Endometriosis Awareness Month from a calendar designation into a movement. These events are where research meets real life, where patients meet the surgeons advancing their care, and where the isolation that so often accompanies this disease gets replaced — even briefly — by the powerful feeling of being in a room full of people who get it.

I’m Kyla, and I’ve been tracking these events for years — both as someone living with Stage IV endometriosis and as a health coach who believes that community is medicine. Whether you can attend in person, join virtually, or simply follow along from home, knowing what’s happening across the endo community this March matters.

Here’s your complete guide to the major Endometriosis Awareness Month 2026 events.

Why Connecting with the Endo Community Changed My Healing

Before I walk you through this year’s events, I want to share something personal — because I think it matters more than any event listing ever could.

For years after my diagnosis, I managed endometriosis alone. I researched alone, cried alone, recovered from surgeries alone, and tried to explain my pain to people who would never fully understand it. That’s the default experience for most of us. Endometriosis is an isolating disease by nature — it’s invisible, it’s misunderstood, and it happens inside your body where nobody else can see it.

Then I went to my first endometriosis event. And everything shifted.

I remember walking into a room where I didn’t have to explain what a flare felt like. And, I didn’t have to justify why I was tired. I didn’t have to see that look — the one where someone is trying to be sympathetic but clearly doesn’t understand. Everyone in that room already knew. They’d lived it. Some of them were still living through the worst of it. And somehow, just being in the same space with those women — hearing their stories, sharing mine, laughing about the absurdity of this disease — felt more healing than any supplement or protocol I’d ever tried.

Research Behind Finding Community

That’s not an exaggeration. Research consistently shows that social connection and community support reduce cortisol, improve immune function, and help regulate the nervous system — all things that directly impact endometriosis. We covered the science behind this in Nervous System Detox and Stress and Endometriosis. Your nervous system literally needs co-regulation with other safe nervous systems to recover from chronic pain. Community isn’t just emotional support. It’s physiological medicine.

Since that first event, I’ve made it a point to show up — at conferences, at marches, at gatherings big and small. Not because I always feel well enough. Not because it’s always convenient. But because every time I connect with this community, I come home a little more equipped, a little less alone, and a little more reminded that I’m part of something bigger than my own pain.

If you’ve never been to an endo event, this is your year. And if you can’t attend in person, there are more ways to connect than ever before. Here’s everything happening in 2026.

The Events

Mar 6-8 · EndoFound Medical Conference & Patient Day

📍 3 Times Square, Manhattan, New York City 🎟️ Free to $350 · endofound.org/medicalconference

This is one of the biggest events of the month. The Endometriosis Foundation of America’s annual Medical Conference and Patient Day brings together world-class researchers, surgeons, patients, and advocates under one roof.

Medical Conference (Mar 6–7): “Endometriosis 2026: A Nerve-Centric Disease” — Conference chair and EndoFound cofounder Dr. Tamer Seckin has described it as the first meeting in the field to place the nervous system at the center of endometriosis biology and surgical care. The program reframes endometriosis as a neuroinflammatory, nerve-driven disease — exploring neuro-immune signaling, neuroangiogenesis, perineural fibrosis, and organ-specific pain across pelvic and extra-pelvic disease. Over 35 international experts will present. Primarily geared toward medical professionals, but patients and advocates are welcome.

Patient Day (Mar 7–8): “Mapping Pain: Pelvis to Brain” — The 17th Annual Patient Day focuses on gut health and endometriosis as a nerve-centric disease, with emphasis on the vagus nerve — something we’ve explored in Nervous System Detox and Stress and Endometriosis. Keynote speaker: researcher, author, and artist Cat Bohannon, PhD. A networking reception on the evening of March 7th offers light bites, refreshments, and community connection.

Mar 7 · EndoBlack: Healing Through Art

📍 4633 42nd Place, Hyattsville, MD 20781 🕐 1:00 PM · endoblack.org/events

Healing Through Art is one of Endo Black, Incorporated’s most powerful initiatives — a community-centered event created in partnership with Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine (PRM) to support, educate, and empower Black and Brown women living with endometriosis. The event combines creative expression with medical education, featuring PRM excision specialists Dr. Ashley Davis and Dr. Mariah Sankey-Thomas, who share their expertise and commitment to validating patient experiences and expanding access to care.

This event was created specifically to address the disparities Black women face in endometriosis care — delayed diagnosis, misdiagnosis with other conditions, implicit bias, and systemic inequities. By bringing together community, education, and creative expression, Healing Through Art helps patients feel seen and supported in ways that traditional medical settings often fail to provide.

Mar 8 · EndoBlack: Centering Black Women in Endometriosis Care — A Solutions Roundtable

📍 Gethsemane United Methodist Church, Capitol Heights, MD 🕐 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM · endoblack.org/events

Day two of EndoBlack’s Awareness Month programming shifts from creative expression to direct action. This Solutions Roundtable brings the community together to discuss, strategize, and build real solutions for the unique challenges Black women face in endometriosis care. After years of raising awareness, EndoBlack’s 2026 theme — “Moving Beyond Awareness into Action” — says it all. This is where the conversation becomes a plan.

About EndoBlack: Endo Black, Incorporated is a Black women-led nonprofit that advocates specifically for African American women and women of color affected by endometriosis. Black women with endometriosis are significantly more likely to experience delayed diagnosis and misdiagnosis with other conditions such as fibroids or pelvic inflammatory disease. EndoBlack operates as a catalyst for change in a community that has historically been underserved and overlooked. Beyond Awareness Month, they host the Empowering Endo Sistas gatherings, Meet and Greet sessions, and the Endo Black Award Gala. Find their events through Eventnoire.

If you’re a Black woman with endometriosis, EndoBlack’s events are one of the few spaces specifically designed for your experience. I encourage every Black woman in the endo community to connect with their work.

Mar 7 · Women’s Health Symposium

📍 Plummer Park Community Center, West Hollywood, CA 🎟️ Free · eventbrite.com

Created to celebrate National Women’s History Month, this free symposium supports the health and well-being of women through guest speakers, panels, workshops, conversation circles, and resources covering a wide range of health topics.

Mar 14 · Pelvic Health Conference & Endometriosis Symposium

📍 Kaufman Music Center, New York City 🌐 pelvicnyc.com

NYC’s premier pelvic health conference features top experts in endometriosis, pelvic pain, EDS and hypermobility, and overlapping conditions. Includes presentations, lectures, panel discussions, and networking across urology, gynecology, gastroenterology, and more.

The evening Endometriosis Symposium kicks off with an Art As a Healing Modality — Artist-Patient Showcase, followed by an expert panel discussion and community Q&A. If you’re dealing with the overlap between endometriosis and other pelvic conditions — something we explored in Endometriosis vs IBS — this conference addresses those intersections directly.

Mar 19–21 · AGCES 2026 & Worldwide EndoMarch

📍 Fontainebleau Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada 🌐 agcesmeeting.org

The Worldwide EndoMarch movement — the largest internationally coordinated endometriosis awareness campaign in the world — has joined forces with AGCES for 2026.

Social Media Campaigns & Virtual Challenges

You don’t need a plane ticket to participate. Some of the most impactful awareness work happens online.

🍋 Bite the Lemon Challenge — EndoFound

Launches March 1 · endofound.org

Record a short video, bite into a lemon wedge, capture that instant sour reaction — the shock, the pause, the discomfort — and share it. The metaphor: if one bite feels overwhelming, imagine the extreme pain the endo community experiences every day. Tag 2–3 people, tag @endofund, encourage donations. No special equipment or personal disclosure needed.

📸 This Is Endometriosis — Global Photo Campaign

thisisendo.com

The viral campaign launched by photographer Georgie Wileman continues to grow. Thousands worldwide have replicated her signature photograph to put a face to this invisible disease. In 2026, the campaign’s documentary won a BAFTA for Best British Short Film.

Instagram Endo Month Challenges

Throughout March, look for community-driven challenges using #EndoAwareness2026, #EndTheSilence, #EndoWarriors, #EndoMonth, #YellowForEndo, and #1in10. Share your diagnosis story, post anti-inflammatory recipes, wear yellow — every post chips away at the silence. The beauty of social media challenges is that they meet you exactly where you are: from bed during a flare, from your kitchen, or from a conference.

How to Participate from Anywhere

• 🟡 Wear yellow. The emblematic color of endometriosis awareness. Sparks conversations and shows solidarity.
• 🍋 Take the Bite the Lemon Challenge. Film it, share it, tag your friends.
• 📱 Share your story on social media. #EndoAwareness2026 · #EndTheSilence · #EndoWarriors · #YellowForEndo
• 💻 Join a virtual event. Many conferences above offer virtual options. EndoMarch is worldwide. NZ’s 120 Challenge works from any neighborhood.
• 🫖 Host a local gathering. A yellow-themed tea party using recipes from Best Tea for Endometriosis, a movie night, a dinner where people learn about the condition.
• 💛 Donate. EndoBlack, EndoFound, EndoMarch, E for Endometriosis, Endometriosis Events Canada, and the Endometriosis Summit all fund research, patient support, and advocacy.
• 📤 Educate your circle. Share posts from our Endometriosis Awareness Month 2026 guide — every one was written to be shareable.

The Power of Showing Up

Endometriosis thrives in silence and isolation. Every event on this list — whether it’s a 35-speaker medical conference, a solutions roundtable in a church in Capitol Heights, a lemon-biting video, or a single person wearing yellow at their office — pushes back against that silence.

I didn’t start my healing journey at a conference or a march. I started it alone, googling symptoms at 2 AM, wondering if what I was feeling was normal. But the moment I connected with other women who understood — the moment I walked into my first endo event and realized I wasn’t the only one — that’s when the isolation started losing its grip. That’s when I started healing in ways that went beyond my body.

You don’t have to do this alone. You were never meant to. Show up however you can this March — in person, online, in yellow, in your own way. The community is waiting for you, and I promise, it’s worth it.
