9th International CHARGE Syndrome Conference
Professional Day
The 1st CHARGE Syndrome Conference for Professionals will be held on Thursday, July 23, 2009 at the Hilton Chicago/Indian Lakes Resort. (This is the day before the 9th International CHARGE Syndrome Conference for Families and Professionals.) To our knowledge, this is the first conference in which professionals will address professionals about their research and work related to CHARGE syndrome. In the Conference for Families, presenters are selected because they have the ability to share information with families and to answer questions about specific individuals with CHARGE. In the Conference for Professionals, there will be discussion of scientific and clinical issues not related to any specific individual. The conference will be a means for professionals to transmit information to other professionals about the procedures and methods for understanding and treating CHARGE. There will be presentations in the areas of education, communication, medicine, genetics and sensory disorders among others.
Though this conference is for professionals, parents and individuals with CHARGE are invited to register and participate with the understanding that personal issues will not be addressed in the discussion at the conference. Parents are asked to take into consideration that the primary purpose of the Conference is for professionals to communicate with their fellow professionals.
The format of the conference will include participants introducing themselves, platform presentations, poster presentations and discussion groups.
The registration fee of $90 will cover the cost of a conference manual, a luncheon, snacks and refreshments.
