Two primary aims continue to guide the event: community building and wisdom sharing at the intersection of art and science. Both the 2023 and 2024 events consisted of 13 unique interactive sessions addressing diverse hospice and palliative care topics delivered by interprofessional experts in palliative care (43 faculty in 2023 and 54 in 2024). Multidisciplinary registrants more than doubled from 764 in 43 countries (2023) to 1678 in 87 countries (2024). Complimentary registration for colleagues in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), students and trainees, and individuals experiencing financial hardship remains a cornerstone of inclusion and equitable access to the event.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S1478951525100291_sec4d\">\n\t    <jats:title>Significance of results<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>The U.S. WHPCD Conference provides a virtual platform to disseminate high-quality science, honor both clinician and patient and caregiver experiences, and celebrate hospice and palliative care delivery during substantial local and global change across practice and policy domains.
