We are delighted to announce that the 23rd International Conference on Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy, organized by Parent Project aps, will be held from February 27 to March 1, 2026, in Rome at the Ergife Palace Hotel (www.ergifepalacehotel.com).
Year after year, the Conference continues to be a key event that brings our large community together, offering opportunities for updating and in-depth discussion, as well as a great opportunity to meet and network, both for families and associations, and for companies and the world of clinical practice and research.
We have started working on the program and further information will be available soon. For now, please mark the dates on your calendar.
We look forward to seeing you again and experiencing the next Conference together!
