Congenital Hyperinsulinism International (CHI) and Kongenitaler Hyperinsulinismus e.V. are excited to announce our partnership to host the 2023 Congenital Hyperinsulinism Family Conference in The Hague, Netherlands. It will take place from September 22 – 24, 2023.
View the Conference Agenda and List of Panelists, Presenters and Moderators.
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 info@congenitalhi.org if you need assistance.
