The 2019 Summit of Strength Program was a huge success, with more than 135 speakers sharing their expertise on numerous highly rated and unique topics. We would like to thank these wonderful speakers and all attendees for making this year’s program so engaging and insightful.
Summits of Strength are single-day, educational events providing information for people of all ages and types of SMA, as well as their loved ones and caregivers. These “mini conferences” give attendees the opportunity to network and learn from national and local experts about the latest advances in support, treatment, care, and advocacy. They can also meet their Cure SMA chapter leaders and connect with others in the local SMA community!
In just the last 16 months, Cure SMA has hosted 36 Summits of Strength reaching 2,900 registered attendees (see list below). Thank you to the 2019 Summit of Strength Program’s National Presenting Sponsors: AveXis, Biogen, and Genentech/Roche. We would also like to recognize Platinum Sponsor, Scholar Rock, for its support.
We are now planning many more events as part of our 2020 Summit of Strength Program, and are excited to announce below the cities where they will be held. The Cure SMA Event Calendar will continuously be updated as we confirm event dates and locations. For more information or questions, please email [email protected].
