What To Expect

Two days of scientific presentations will highlight the latest advances in Prader-Willi syndrome and Schaaf-Yang syndrome research, spanning genetics, neuroscience, endocrinology, metabolism, behavior, clinical trials, translational science, and more.

The conversation continues beyond the presentations. Researchers, clinicians, industry scientists, trainees, and patient advocacy partners will have dedicated opportunities to exchange ideas, make connections, and explore potential collaborations. A poster reception gives researchers the chance to share and discuss their work, while breakfast roundtables create space for deeper conversation around timely topics in the field.

Attendees will leave with a clearer view of where PWS and SYS research stands today, what’s coming next, and new connections that can help move promising research toward meaningful therapies.
