We are pleased to announce the return of the New England Graphic Medicine (NEGM) Summit on December 3rd, 2026, featuring a day of panels and workshops designed to foster community and collaboration at the intersection of healthcare and comics across New England. Since the conference’s original launch in 2019 as “the New England Graphic Medicine ComicCon,” the field of Graphic Medicine has grown considerably in Boston and the region.

This year’s event will be held in the Longwood Medical Area, a world-renowned hub for hospitals, medical research centers, and academic institutions—it will consist of presentations, panels, and workshops to connect, illuminate, and expand the area’s Graphic Medicine community. Proposals are sought from those living in New England or focusing on the region, comparing their region to New England, or creating material on/for specifically New England, including, but not limited to, scholarly, creative, clinical, and pedagogical.
