Join us to find a cure

We hope you will join us for SLC6A1 Connect’s 2026 International Scientific Symposium and Family Conference to be held on December 3-4, 2026 at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Denver, Colorado, 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 grow, 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. Two other rare epilepsy patient advocacy groups, Cure SYNGAP1 and KCNT1 Epilepsy Foundation, will be holding separate but simultaneous Symposia 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!
