2023 Hybrid PKD Connect Conference (PKDCON) FAQ’s

What is the 2023 Hybrid PKD Connect Conference (PKDCON)?

An annual meeting where patients with PKD, caregivers, parents, researchers, and health care professionals gather to share and learn about the latest in PKD research, connect with others in the PKD community, and to meet the researchers and doctors dedicated to finding new treatments, and eventually, a cure for PKD.

The 2023 conference will be our first time meeting in person since 2018.  In addition to our in-person offering, we will offer this experience virtually.

What can I expect at a hybrid conference?

This year we will bring back the live conference experience coupled with a virtual experience. You can expect an agenda packed with topics important to the PKD community: Q&A sessions with the experts, poster presentations, and the ability to interact with other attendees and supporters.

Who should attend PKDCON 2023?

The 2023 PKDCON is developed with PKD patients, parents of children with PKD, and caregivers in mind.

PKD patients will hear from the best in the field of PKD to understand each stage of the disease, learn about new advancements in science and research, and connect with others who live with PKD.

Parents of children with PKD will have an opportunity to meet expert doctors and researchers to learn more about the disease and how to manage it, and to hear about what is new in research and science. They’ll also have the opportunity to meet, connect, and get support from other parents of children with PKD.

Caregivers play a key role in the lives of people who have PKD; yet caring for someone who is chronically ill can be highly stressful. At the 2023 PKD Connect Conference, caregivers will learn more about the disease their loved ones struggle with and how to support them, while also learning how to care for their own physical and emotional health. Specific sessions and topics for caregivers are available.

What will I learn?

The 2023 PKD Connect Conference is the place to be if you want to learn in-depth information about PKD and how to manage it from experts in the field.  You’ll also have the opportunity to meet and connect with others who have PKD in a fun, open, and welcoming environment.
