The International Neurological Ketogenic Society (INKS) is pleased to be hosting a special patient-centered Family Day as part of our 8th Global Symposium. This gathering will provide the opportunity for exploring the history of ketogenic dietary therapies, how these treatments are used today, and how new ways to use them in the future are being discovered.
Highlights from the scientific sessions earlier in the week will be shared with Family Day attendees to help provide insights into the latest research that is helping drive progress in the field of ketogenic dietary therapies – on both clinical and research fronts.
Engagement activities will enable attendees to ask questions of the medical experts and to learn from other patients and families who are on their respective journeys.
Interactive cooking demonstrations by renowned chefs will offer fresh ideas and innovative ways to think about the power and influence of food on the brain.
Attendees will have the chance to visit with exhibitors to learn more about their products and resources designed to make the implementation of ketogenic dietary therapies easier and more successful.
If you are a patient, family member, friend, clinical care provider, researcher, or anyone else who is interested in learning more about this expanding therapeutic approach and the real-life experiences and applications of those who understand it best and live it every day, then this is a great way for you to spend your Saturday!
Spanish translation services will be provided.
