Conference for Adults with MPS and ML

Friday, August 8, 2025, 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. 

Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel

The National MPS Society invites you to attend the “Finding our SPIRIT” conference.

Focusing on the topics you have chosen, we have worked with the Adult Resource Committee, spoken with you, and reviewed evaluations to determine the most important things to you.

 

 

   Sessions are only open to meeting registrants (adults with MPS or ML) to

allow for privacy and confidentiality during the discussions. Through this, we incorporated formal meeting time and time for you to spend with your peers on your topics of interest.

On Friday Caregivers may attend conference meals and all are   

invited to explore the Downtown Aquarium, An Underwater Adventure. 

 

 

In addition to the SPIRIT Conference, we hope everyone can attend the Family Conference as well, which begins Thursday with a Welcome Dinner followed by multiple breakout sessions.  An award ceremony and Celebration Banquet on Saturday night wraps up the family conference portion. Please visit the Annual Family Conference website for additional details and schedule. Complimentary child care is provided.
