Putting WDSC on your 2024 agenda

If you haven’t heard already, mark your calendars! The World Down Syndrome Congress 2024 is coming to Brisbane, Australia from 9-12 July 2024.

This international congress brings together people with Down syndrome, family members, researchers

and service providers to showcase the latest research and best practice as well as the lived experience of Down syndrome from around the world.

The Congress supports the ongoing agenda of Down Syndrome International: to improve quality of life for people with Down syndrome worldwide and promote their inherent right to be accepted and included as valued and equal members of their communities.
