With only one day for educational sessions, we asked you, our members, what is important to you. Those areas are research and new treatments. Speakers Friday morning will focus on these topics with other subjects, such as management of MPS and related diseases, presented in concurrent sessions in the afternoon. Friday night after the banquet, we invite everyone to attend the first National MPS Society prom. We promise a super-fun evening for everyone filled with music, dancing, activities and surprises! There’s no dress code for this event; you’re welcome to dress up in your party duds or be relaxed in shorts and flip flops.
