Dup15q International Family Conferences 

Dup15q Alliance International Family Conferences are held every other year to provide families with an opportunity to meet and learn. We connect families and professionals, from the US and internationally, to provide pertinent information regarding Dup15q Syndrome advances and treatments. Tailored to benefit the entire family, our conferences include scientific, genetic and clinical discussions, respite care, sibling sessions and group activities. Sessions will be held on the latest research, treatment and therapies with views from clinicians, providers and parents. Break-out sessions have also been organized for Moms and Dads that offer a wonderful opportunity to gather with other parents and share the challenges, fears, hopes and successes of raising a family with Dup15q in the mix. These honest exchanges bring both tears and laughter, and most of all, the healing of knowing that you are not alone in your experience parenting a child with Dup15q.

We are excited to announce that our family conference will look a little different this year, but we are hoping it will be even better. This year we are hosting a joint conference between Dup15q Alliance, Project 8p, and Ring14 USA.  We believe we can do more together!
