The International Conference on Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy is the most important annual event organized by Parent Project. It brings together families, researchers, healthcare professionals, and institutional partners to share scientific advances, clinical experiences, and treatment prospects. Today, it is a point of reference for the national and international community in the field of muscular dystrophy.

The first International Conference was held in 1999, at a time when diagnosis meant facing the unknown. Initially, it was primarily a medical-scientific event, created to provide a meeting place for doctors, researchers, patients, and families. Over time, the conference has grown and, in recent years, has expanded its content to include fundamental social issues: from inclusion to ableism, to the experience of siblings and other challenges that families face on a daily basis. Today, the conference is a unique opportunity to bring together research progress and the recognition of the rights, dignity, and quality of life of people with muscular dystrophy and their families.
