The 2024 FOXG1 Syndrome Parents Conference will be held November 15th-17th, 2024 at the Marriott Resort Fort Lauderdale Pompano Beach.

In this retreat-setting, FOXG1 parents will connect with other FOXG1 parents, scientists, and FOXG1 clinicians to learn all about the spectrum of FOXG1 syndrome, the FOXG1 research strategy towards a cure, and we will discuss parenting children with complex needs.

The theme of conference is Connect - Learn - Inspire.

We hope you will leave with newfound hope for the future. We can’t wait to bring our community together to support and uplift one another.
