Come together with the Duchenne community at Action Duchenne’s Annual International Conference 2024
Friday 8th – Saturday 9th November 2024
Leonardo Hotel Hinckley Island, Leicestershire, LE10 3JA
Our 22nd Annual International Conference will bring together families, clinicians, therapists, researchers, and pharmaceutical companies from across the world to support, empower and share knowledge.
Excellent content, fantastic speakers and well organised conference. I attended the conference last year and it changed my life forever. It was very nice to meet your wonderful self, Harry Hill and your team again. We met some of my best friends to this day and were able to share so many stories and memories with them. I would DEFINITELY recommend this conference to other families.
The theme for this year’s conference is ‘Educating, Connecting and Wellbeing’ with 3 simultaneous content streams over 2 days, covering key areas on Duchenne muscular dystrophy, enabling you and your family to discover the latest Duchenne science from the experts, build your support network and make time to focus on your mental and physical wellbeing. Come along with your family – Action Duchenne is delighted to offer our Hang Out area for teens, and we welcome the return of our free creche for under 9’s to allow parents/carers to attend conference sessions. Join us on Friday evening for a 3-course meal and dance celebration to make it an unforgettable weekend.
This was the first time my husband and I have attended the Action Duchenne Annual Conference. We have received a diagnosis of Duchenne for our son four months ago and are very much in the early stages of learning about the condition. There was a lot packed into two days, but we thought the conference was excellent – interesting and relevant topics, good speakers and very well organised. This weekend we met some of the most incredible families and were able to share our experiences. Our favourite moment was our daughter when played in a band with Harry Hill and Florence – it’s so nice to see her laughing again! We are looking forward to next year.
Thanks to the generous support from our Sponsors, tickets are FREE for Duchenne families and anyone living with Duchenne. We are also offering families a grant of up to £100 towards their conference travel and/or accommodation.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Action Duchenne Annual International Conference 2024.
