The 2024 DSF Family & Professional Conference will take place from June 20-22 at the JW Marriott Minneapolis Mall of America, just 2.5 miles from the Minneapolis-St Paul International Airport. This 3-day event is crafted to bring together all stakeholders dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for individuals with Dravet syndrome – including families, caregivers, clinicians, researchers, and professionals in the biopharmaceutical industry. This event allows the opportunity to foster new relationships and collaborations, both for families and professionals.
