Why attend the Conference?

Harnessing the power of collaboration and community. The International Foundation for FOXG1 (IFF) is proud to partner for the first time with Rettsyndrome.org, the International Foundation for CDKL5 Research (IFCR), and MECP2 Duplication in  joint sessions of common relevance, meals, receptions. and respite.

This is the only conference of this caliber where parents and professionals of those with Rett syndrome and Related Disorders come together from all over the world, under one roof. Learn the most current recommended care and advocacy strategies for every stage of life, and hear first-hand the latest in research and clinical trials. Even though many resources today can be accessed online, nothing replaces the experience of meeting face-to-face with experts; hands-on interactions with carefully orchestrated workshops; and spending time developing lasting relationships with other parents and attendees.

Here’s a keynote Welcome from one of the RETT.org past conferences, (in it’s 32 conference year) – a teaser!!
