  • Dear IROC Improvers,

    Welcome to the IROC Fall 2026 Learning Session! We are so glad you have taken the time to travel to Park City to join us. The theme for our 21st Learning Session is New Horizons: A Decade of Progress, A Future of Accomplishment.

    As IROC celebrates 10 years of advancing care and improving outcomes, we pause to reflect on the journey that has brought us here. Together, we look beyond today's horizon toward a future filled with opportunity. Through the unveiling of our five-year strategic plan, this Learning Session will serve as both a celebration of accomplishments and a launch point for the next chapter of innovation, partnership, and impact.

    We appreciate you spending this time with us. It is your participation and contributions that enable our collaborative to continue improving outcomes and quality of life for children post-kidney transplant, and their families.

    Thank you, and we look forward to connecting with you!
