International Family & Professional Conference

Every two years, the LGS Foundation organizes a comprehensive multi-day educational meeting. The conference brings together more than 350 LGS family members and epilepsy professionals from around the world to better understand the causes, treatments, and how to live with LGS. Talks cover everything from treatment options to services and include information on improving quality of life, accessing resources, and much more.

In non-conference years, the LGS Foundation hosts the LGS Research Meeting of the Minds Conference for professionals and families and focuses on LGS research. We can’t wait to see you! 


Thank you for Joining us for the 9th International Family & Professional Conference

More than 400 global leaders, healthcare professionals, family leaders, and advocates for LGS united in Phoenix, Arizona for three days of educational sessions and community collaboration, July 11-14, 2024.

“Our LGS Conference is more than an event – it’s a chance for us to strengthen bonds, share insights, and grow together as a community. Its success lies in the incredible spirit of our families, researchers, and partners coming together to learn, share, and inspire one another.”

– Tracy Dixon-Salazar, PhD, Executive Director
