MDF Conferences

Join us at our conferences. Together, families, researchers, and other community members from all over the world connect, learn and bond over our mission of Community, Care, and a Cure.

The MDF conference experience

The Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation (MDF) hosts annual conferences that bring together individuals and families affected by myotonic dystrophy (DM), along with clinicians, researchers, industry partners, and advocates. These multi-day or single day events offer the latest updates in research and care, practical guidance for living with DM, and meaningful opportunities to connect with others in the community. Through expert-led presentations, panel discussions, and networking sessions, MDF conferences foster collaboration, accelerate progress toward treatments, and strengthen support for everyone impacted by DM.

We’re taking the MDF 2026 conference to 4 regional locations!
