The FOP Family Gathering will take place June 24-26 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
-
The FOP Family Gathering moves to a different U.S. city each year it's held, bringing the community together for several days of enriching education and opportunities to learn, share, and connect with others living with and coping with life with FOP.
-
The agenda will include sessions where people living with FOP and their families can gain insight and practical tools for accessing new treatments, advocating for themselves, managing their health, and living their best lives. The FOP Family Gathering offers opportunities to meet others in the community and have questions answered by leading experts in the field. The whole family is invited, and we will provide on-site childcare and children’s activities.
