***2020*** UPDATE
Due to the pandemic, we were unable to plan our second conference. Stay tuned for more information about 2021. We hope to plan a a virtual conference, and if safe, a small in person conference for families. More to come......
In November 2019, we held the first ADNP Family Conference and Scientific Symposium at UCLA in California. We had close to 100 attendees from around the world, and were able to Facebook live broadcast the entire conference so families unable to attend could watch online. The event was SPONSORED by: GeneDx, Preventive Genetics, The Summer Neuro-Peptide Group and the Diana Sermone Family Trust.
