“It was a weekend filled with learning new information about the science of 8p disorders and the experiments taking place, making connections with families, and fostering hope for all parties involved.”

“At the conference you will make & deepen lifelong friendships & supports, you will learn about the amazing research happening – both for future generations and for our kiddos, you’ll get an opportunity to be a part of that research, all while in person in one place together. There’s nothing else like it.”

“I am so happy I chose to attend my first conference. Beyond the important information you learn about your child, you gain connection ls with families who understand your experience without much explanation. You also get the opportunity to see the big picture, the reason why this organization does all of this work…the kids. These 8p heros instantly steal your heart and I can’t imagine not going year after year now!”

“Amazingly comprehensive. Not only is there the opportunity to meet other families, the opportunity to learn about on-going research, common findings among 8p heroes, and ability to meet with dedicated specialists make this a truly enriching and worthwhile experience.”

“I feel like this conference is a must. I feel so fortunate to have learned about it right after our diagnosis. It gave us the information we wanted, the support and love that we so desperately needed, and helped guide us on our next steps in this journey.”
