The Moebius Syndrome Foundation Conference is an amazing event that is held every two years that provides networking and social activities for the Moebius community. We are committed to offering the best conferences we can and ask for your help in supporting them.
In order to keep attendee registration costs down, the Moebius Syndrome Foundation works diligently on obtaining sponsorships and funding. For the last conference, held in July 2014, the Foundation ended up paying an additional $62,000 out of pocket to cover all costs. With 375 people attending, that means the Foundation spent $165 per attendee. We encourage you to make a donation for our next conference.
Conference sponsorships and donations received or pledged during both 2015 and 2016 will be combined to determine your sponsorship or donation level. That way you can contribute in either or both years to the upcoming conference. Sponsors will receive acknowledgement at the conference and a full page color ad in the Conference Journal. We will be able to identify early sponsors in our conference materials including our brochure and website.
