PFF Summit 2025: Celebrating 25 Years of Growth
The Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (PFF) gears up for its biennial summit to showcase advancements in the field of pulmonary fibrosis (PF) and interstitial lung diseases (ILD). The PFF Summit 2025, taking place at the Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk, marks a significant milestone — the organization’s 25th anniversary.
Summit Highlights: What to Expect
Scheduled for three days, this exciting event unites patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and researchers from around the world. Attendees will experience a wealth of knowledge through groundbreaking presentations, collaborative sessions, and valuable resources aimed at improving patient care.
Theme Focused on Collaboration and Progress
This year's summit theme, "25 years Together: Honoring the Past, Building on the Present, Innovating for the Future," underlines the importance of partnerships in advancing research and support services for the more than 250,000 individuals living with PF and ILD in the U.S.
Hear from Distinguished Speakers
Scott Staszak, President and CEO of PFF, emphasizes the organization’s ongoing commitment to unite the community: "For 25 years, we've worked to improve care and the quality of life for those affected by these diseases. Today, we continue building on that legacy by advancing new therapies and research-informed care practices."
Opportunities for Networking and Recognition
The summit will kickoff with a welcome reception and an engaging poster presentation. This vibrant environment allows attendees to network and recognize excellence in scientific contributions through the highly anticipated Poster Awards, which include monetary prizes and travel support for standout presentations.
Supporting Emerging Researchers
This year also brings a significant increase in the number of awards available. Five new Trainee Poster Awards will be presented to medical school students, residents, and fellows, ensuring future generations of researchers are supported in their quests to advance understanding in the field.
Continued Education Beyond the Summit
Moreover, the PFF will offer enduring Continuing Medical Education (CME) credit for accredited sessions accessible for up to a year post-summit, providing healthcare professionals with ongoing educational resources necessary for staying at the forefront of clinical best practices.

Tailored breakout sessions will cater to patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals, providing valuable insights throughout the event.
