The Global Down Syndrome Foundation is proud to announce the Global Down Syndrome Foundation Research & Medical Care Roundtable at the Children’s Hospital Colorado on Thursday, July 18, 2013.
The Global Roundtable, held at one of the nation’s top ten children’s hospitals and home to the Sie Center for Down Syndrome, is co-organized with the National Down Syndrome Congress and supported by the Down Syndrome Medical Interest Group. The Global Roundtable will feature nationally renowned scientists and medical professionals working to better the lives of people with Down syndrome. Topics will include sleep apnea, immune deficiency, leukemia, prenatal testing, cognition, and Alzheimer’s disease.
The morning of the Global Roundtable, bus transportation will be provided to and from the convention’s designated hotel, the Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center to the Children’s Hospital Colorado, departing from 7:00am. Breakfast, snacks and lunch will be provided during the Global Roundtable.
To make it even more exciting, we are also offering each Global Roundtable attendee a ticket to a private performance by Colbie Caillat at 7:30pm at the Paramount Theatre – just two blocks from the Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center.
- In order to participate in the Global Roundtable and to attend the invitation-only Colbie Caillat concert you must first register for the National Down Syndrome Congress Annual Convention in Denver from July 19-21st, and then register for the roundtable and concert. To be clear, there is no additional cost for the roundtable and concert beyond the convention registration fee.
