Covid-19 Official Statement

5th World conference on CDG Covid-19 Official Statement: Though we can’t connect in person this year, there was no way we would not move ahead with our 5th World Conference on CDG for CDG families and professionals. Due to continued uncertainties surrounding the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, this year, we are planning the congress online. The online option ensures access, equity, and inclusion of all participants.

It is our first priority to preserve everyone’s health and deliver the conference in a safe environment. Hence, secure now your online attendance at the earliest! Register now HERE.

The theme of this edition of the conference is #StandUnited4CDG Patient Centric approach that drives CDG therapeutic development: Impossible, Is Possible!
Through a mix of several Community CDG Think Tanks, Keynote special sessions, and many panels of discussions, CDG families and professionals will during the four-day conference collect reflection on needs, challenges, paradigm shifts, innovations, and share contextualized experiences that might shape tailored solutions for people living with CDG and their family members. By securing a diverse panelist we will provide a better understanding of the urgent demands of CDG. It is an ideal forum for sharing ideas, learning about developments and interacting with families and professionals. Check the draft Program HERE.

From Thursday, 13^th May  to Sunday, 16^th May 2021, we will be offering a robust, informative agenda you have come to expect over the last 10 years!
