Closer Than Ever – Chromosome 18 Virtual Conference

Closer Than Ever Conference Summary

The Closer Than Ever – Chromosome 18 Virtual Conference was a huge success! We are so glad that we could bring our families around the world together in this brand new format. As we couldn’t come together in person, we provided a way for our families to connect through virtual sessions and activities. Linked below are recordings of most of the sessions offered throughout the week.

We want to say a huge THANK YOU to the experts who shared their invaluable expertise & information during the sessions, physicians who help improve the quality of life for our families, members from around the world that joined, and the volunteers & staff that put their time, dedication, and passion into making the conference so inspiring.
