Submit your attendance to the Lama2 conference in Istanbul

After successful conferences in Maastricht (2019) and Barcelona (2023), we are pleased to announce the third LAMA2-RD-focused conference, to be held in Istanbul, Türkiye, from March 27–29, 2026. The event will bring together clinicians, researchers, patient organizations, patients, and families to share progress in understanding and treating LAMA2-MD.

While patients have been involved in previous meetings, their participation will now be a strong focus. LAMA2-MD is a rare condition and most patients, or their families never meet others with the same condition, and clinicians may see only one or two cases in their careers. This will offer a unique opportunity for patients, families, and experts to connect, share experiences, and learn from one another.

To get an accurate estimate of the number of participants and the space we need to reserve, we kindly ask patients and families planning to attend the conference on site to fill out the form. At this time, travel and accommodation costs are at your own expense. However, we will provide food and drinks for all on-site participants during the conference. We are actively seeking sponsorship and hope to secure funding soon. If successful, we may also be able to contribute toward accommodation costs for participants.

Note: Participation for researchers and clinicians is by invitation only. If you are a researcher or clinician and would like to attend, please don’t hesitate to contact us via email.

You can find all the information you need on this conference on this website.

We are looking for sponsors for this international conference. Do you work at a company that might want to contribute? Do you know family members who would like to support or can you contribute something yourself? Then get in touch to discuss the possibilities. Stronger together!
