FAQ

I have / am a caregiver for someone with an IRD that is not LCA. Should I still attend?
Yes, please do join us! We've had families with other IRDs attend in the past and welcome all persons that can benefit from the learning and connections. All of the sessions have content relevant to anyone with an IRD who is interested in learning more about clinical trials, research approaches, and meeting other parents, children and adults living with retinal disease

How can I contact the organizer with any questions?

Are children welcome at the event?
Yes! This is a family conference and we hope you will bring your family.

For children under 6, when you register, please indicate if you need assistance, so we can follow up to make arrangements for childcare with you. Note that our ability to support childcare on site does depend upon how many requests we receive, and the sooner we know if service is needed, the better we can help.

For children ages 3+ to 15, we are planning an offsite field trip to a local attraction. The group will be escorted by Hope in Focus volunteers. We very much welcome parents or other adult caregivers from your group as volunteers - let us know if you would like to help out!

What's the refund policy?
Full refund on conference fees with a 7-day advance notice.  Hotel refunds are subject to hotel rules and regulations.
