Join us to find a cure

We hope you will join us for SLC6A1 Connect’s 2025 International Scientific Symposium and Family Conference to be held on December 4-5, 2025 at the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center in Atlanta, Georgia, prior to the American Epilepsy Society Annual Meeting. Our International Scientific Symposium will be a full-day event featuring clinical updates, scientific presentations and protocols, the latest research, family testimonials, and engaging panel discussions. As our patient population and community grows, we are excited to share that again this year, our Symposium will be a 2-day event to include a 2nd day just for patients, caregivers, and families. One other rare epilepsy patient advocacy group, SynGAP Research Fund, will be holding a separate but simultaneous Symposium at the same location. This collaboration will allow us to offer joint scientific poster sessions, a peaceful respite room for patients and caregivers, overlapping content for families, and convenient onsite biospecimen collection.  It's an event not to be missed!
