Systemic sclerosis (SSc), more commonly called scleroderma, is a rheumatic autoimmune disease. It affects not only the skin but other organs as well, due to an immune system dysfunction. The disease is associated with skin tightening and thickening, inflammation, and scarring of the organs, which can provoke serious health issues in the lungs, kidneys, heart, and intestine. SSc is very rare condition, as only 75,000 to 100,000 people have SSc in the United States.

The VirtualInvestorConferences have been held once a month since 2010, thanks to BetterInvesting (NAIC) and PRNewswire. The events are “designed to replicate the look and feel of location-based investor conferences,” as noted in a press release. This approach allows companies to meet directly with retail investors. The presentation will be in real-time, where participants can ask questions in the presentation hall and in the “virtual trade book.” It can be accessed on the website (VirtualInvestorConferences.com) and will be accessible on-demand for 90 days.
