Are collaborating to hold their first joint conference in 2023. 

We hope you’ll join us March 28 – April 1 in Portland Oregon at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Portland Airport 

Our diverse program is designed to connect, educate, and inspire the patients in our communities. Our attendees will be a mix of affected adults, parents of children, and families. Speakers will address both adult and pediatric issues. With the help of sponsors such as yourself, we are working to make the conference affordable to all. We expect a joint attendance of about 300. An on-site Kids Camp will be offered for children ages 5-12. Programs for teens and young adults will take place on-site as well.

Plans for the conference include:

• • • Workshops: focused learning in smaller groups
    • Sessions: large group presentations 
    • Emergency Injection Training
    • Activities for children and teens
    • Continuing education credits for health care providers and teachers.
    • Time for learning, fun, and relaxation
    • Sponsor tables and presentations

Sponsors are a valued part of our conference. We work to include you in all that we do and make sure our attendees know we can’t put this on without you. Our expenses include, but are not limited to:

• • • Venue rental
    • Lunches for attendees
    • Travel and lodging for speakers
    • Child care (camp) for children of attendees (staffing and activity costs)
    • Subsidizing the lodging and/or parking cost for attendees
    • Training for our valued teachers and school nurses
