Conference Scholarship Information and application

The 16th annual 1p36 Deletion Support & Awareness conference will be held in Westminster (Denver), Colorado. Conference dates will be Thursday, August 1^st through Saturday, August 3^rd, 2024.  The conference hotel is in Westminster, a suburb of Denver, only 30 miles from Denver International Airport and 95 miles from the Colorado Springs Airport. The Westin, Westminster is a gorgeous venue with beautiful guest rooms and meeting spaces, a full workout/fitness studio, an indoor heated pool and of course, incredible views of the majestic Colorado Rocky Mountains. The hotel is also very conveniently located within a short walk of many dining and retail establishments.

2024 conference hosts, the West Family, in collaboration with the Board, is working hard to organize and facilitate an incredibly memorable, life-giving weekend!  There will be activities for everyone, including a Mom’s Night Out, Dad’s Night Out, and even a special Sibling Event. A speaker line-up of medical professionals, genetics experts and other pertinent service providers will offer valuable information, research and clinical studies, as well as resources and ideas, all relevant to 1p36 Deletion Syndrome. Families and caregivers will be educated, empowered and inspired, enabling them to be stronger advocates for their loved ones. Every 1p36 conference is an amazing opportunity to be surrounded by people that truly understand what loving and caring for someone with 1p36 deletion syndrome is really like. Life-long friendships are forged and cultivated with people, spanning across diverse cultures, backgrounds and beliefs, all brought together and bonded by some missing DNA on the 1^st chromosome.

An exclusive group rate of $149/night for standard rooms (1 King or 2 Double Beds) has been negotiated at the Westin, Westminster (taxes and fees not included). The venue offers complimentary basic, high-speed, wireless internet in guestrooms and meeting space as well as complimentary self-parking for all attendees.
