With record attendance, we have reached capacity in our meeting, event, and room spaces in the hotel. Online registration will close on Monday, August 1.
The National MPS Society invites you to attend its 36th Annual Family Conference. The conference will be held at Sheraton Music City Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee.
The meeting begins Thursday, August 4 at 3:00 pm CT. We are pleased to announce our Keynote Speaker, Dr. Mark Sands. He will present on the landscape of MPS research. Dinner and breakout sessions follow Thursday afternoon's main session meeting.
Newly diagnosed families will join together to hear disease overviews, and share their experiences and strategies for coping. Families who have received new diagnoses in the past three years (since the last in-person event in December 2019) are welcome to attend newly diagnosed sessions.
Our members have shared that research, management of symptoms, and new treatments are most important, along with information to support individuals with neurocognitive involvement and those without. Speakers will focus on these topics. Syndrome-specific and relationship-specific breakout sessions will take place Thursday night. On Saturday evening, families are invited to a banquet dinner! There’s no dress code for this event; you’re welcome to dress up in your finest party attire or be relaxed in shorts and flip flops.
