Like our past family conferences, it will be a weekend full of connection and collaboration among members of our HI community. Physicians, researchers, geneticists, patient advocates, HI patients, and more members of our HI communities will present research and stories.
Family conferences are a unique opportunity for our community, which is spread worldwide, to gather and celebrate research and goals and share personal challenges, triumphs, struggles, and dreams. We hope you can join us!
All conference sessions will take place at The Hague Marriott, Johan de Wittlaan 30, 2517 JR. The room block to stay at the hotel during the conference is full as of August 1, 2023. If rooms become available, we will update this information. As of August 22, 2023, there are rooms available at nearby hotels, but please email [email protected] if you need assistance.
