2021 Virtual Family Conference

 We are planned a unique experience for our virtual family gathering in July!  We held three days of gathering to feature expert presentations, small group breakouts, and fun social events for the whole family.  We have been using our Collective Voices in Glut1 Deficiency survey to identify concerns and gaps and planned conference topics and sessions to help address some of those needs. 

We look forward to our 9th Biennial Conference in July of 2022, which will directly follow our 2nd Scientific Meeting with some overlapping activities. We hope to be able to gather in person in beautiful San Diego.
