We’re thrilled to announce that the Pitt Hopkins Family Conference will be held virtually in 2026—bringing our entire global community together from the comfort of home! This virtual format will allow more families than ever before to attend—especially those for whom travel is difficult or costly. It also opens the door for our international families to join the conversation, share their stories, and connect in real time with researchers, clinicians, and each other.

From expert panels and scientific updates to family support sessions and community-building activities, the 2026 conference will be packed with the same heart, hope, and helpful information you’ve come to expect—just with no airfare required.

And don’t worry—we’ll be back in person in 2027, and we can’t wait to see many of you face-to-face again then.

Whether you’ll be logging in from a laptop or planning to join us in person the following year, we can’t wait to connect, grow, and move this mission forward—together.
