Hosted By:
The research symposium is a proverbial “think tank” that attracts researchers from around the globe to gather and share findings on the latest advances in the field of Angelman syndrome. Rarely seen in scientific meetings, and similar to Gordon-style meetings, the research symposia bring the brightest and best researchers together to share their unpublished data with others in a collaborative environment to push research toward viable treatments and therapeutics quickly and safely. The joint Angelman Syndrome Foundation and Dup15g
Alliance Research Symposium fosters a space where diverse opinions and a wide range of expertise can unite.
Registration
This is a closed-door science meeting.
The 2026 ASF and Dup15q Research Symposium will continue as a closed-door, invitation-based meeting, which is intentionally different from the open registration process used for the ASF Family Conference. This distinction reflects the focused, scientific nature of the Symposium and the goal of fostering in-depth highly scientific discussions and collaboration among researchers, clinicians, and key stakeholders on published and un-published research.
It you are a member of the scientific or clinical community and would like to be included in the guest list, please join the invitation list.
For questions, please contact events@angelman.org.
