About this Event
*This event is for everyone
Join us for our annual Sturge-Weber Syndrome Virtual Family Symposium on Saturday, May 25. The symposium’s presentations will help those living with Sturge-Weber syndrome and their family members learn more about—and manage—their condition. We will bring together patients and families from around the United States to learn from one another and hear from some of the world’s top doctors and scientists specializing in this syndrome.
We have moved this conference from September to May to coincide with the Sturge-Weber Foundation Month of Awareness and the Vascular Birthmarks Foundation’s International Month of Awareness for Vascular Birthmarks.
