There are still spots available for MDA’s Public Policy and Advocacy Conference, taking place in Washington, DC, from Oct. 15-17 at the Grand Hyatt Washington. If you have been thinking about attending, now is the time to sign up before all the spots are filled!

The MDA Public Policy and Advocacy Conference is an intimate event that facilitates opportunities for advocates to connect with policy experts, Congress, and each other on issues of importance to the neuromuscular community. There is limited space available, so we encourage you to take advantage of this chance to register now.

The registration fee for the conference is $50 for primary attendees, and additional family members will be able to attend at a discounted rate of $25 each. This registration fee covers all activities at the conference including meals, conference programming, and Hill day planning.

MDA is offering a limited number of travel grants for those who would not otherwise be able to afford to travel to the conference. If you are interested in applying for a travel grant, please indicate this when you register and you will receive more information once we receive your registration information. Those who receive a travel grant will have their conference registration fee refunded and may receive further financial assistance depending on how far they must travel to attend.

Contact advocacy@mdausa.org with any questions. See you in October!
