The weekend will begin with a welcome reception on Friday, August 4th, in the evening at The Brisbane Marriott (see more details on this location below). In addition to the Family Meeting day and event dinner on Saturday, August 5, we are planning a family activity in Brisbane for Sunday, August 6.
The meeting will include informative sessions on congenital hyperinsulinism from HI specialists, HI family members, and CHI advocacy leaders. There will also be interactive sessions where HI families will have opportunities to share their stories and experiences.
Topics will include:
- Living with congenital hyperinsulinism
- Current HI Treatment Options

- The CHI Collaborative Research Network and an update on a potential new Investigational study
You can see the full draft agenda here.
This event will be an opportunity to learn more about living with congenital hyperinsulinism, get to know the global HI community members, and meet and share experiences with other HI families in Australia.
