Each year, thousands come from around the globe to attend the NDSC Annual Convention. For many, it’s to hear from world-renowned experts; for others, it’s to take a one-of-kind vacation. But what brings all of us back, year after year, is the feeling of an international family reunion found nowhere other than at NDSC’s Convention weekend.

The National Down Syndrome Congress Convention is a 4-day event designed to provide a meaningful and educational experience for individuals with Down syndrome, their families, caregivers, and medical and educational professionals who dedicate their lives to the Down syndrome community. Attendees will choose one of three conferences that run simultaneously during the Convention: the General Conference, intended for parents, grandparents, adult siblings, and professionals; the Youth & Adults Conference, for individuals with Down syndrome age 15 (by July 20) and older; or, the Siblings Conference, a place for siblings only, who are rising 7th through 12th graders in the 2023-2024 school year.
