THANK YOU TO OUR PLATINUM SPONSOR – Marinus Pharmaceuticals
The IFCR is excited to host our 4th International CDKL5 Family Conference at Hyatt Regency Aurora-Denver Conference Center near Denver, CO, from June 29-30, 2018. To reserve rooms at the amazing $139 double occupancy hotel room rate (triple occupancy – $164; quad occupancy – $189) we’ve negotiated, you must use our event passkey link. Rate include internet.
This rate cutoff is June 7th but these 4-star rooms are limited and will not last long! Please be aware that you may find rates less than our $139/night, in the area, however, they do NOT include guaranteed meal tickets, which will likely make staying off-site more expensive. We understand local families might not choose to stay onsite, please email ajaksha@CDKL5.com and we will work with you to arrange meal tickets. Complimentary shuttle available to/from Anschutz Medical Center, Light Rail & local restaurants.
Program Highlights: The IFCR is working with other organizations to carefully and thoughtfully coordinate conference details just for you: families, caregivers, educators and allied health professionals. It is the only one of this caliber where parents and professionals of those with CDKL5 come together from all over the world, under one roof, to learn the most current recommended care and advocacy strategies for every stage of life, and hear first-hand the latest in research and the prospect for future clinical trials. Even though many resources today can be accessed online, nothing replaces the experience of meeting face-to-face with experts; hands-on interactions with carefully orchestrated workshops; and spending time developing lasting relationships with other parents, attendees and all of us at the International Foundation for CDKL5 Research (IFCR).
