THE 2020 MGFA NATIONAL CONFERENCE IS ALIVE AND WELL—AND YOU ARE INVITED TO ATTEND FOR FREE!
Stuck at home because of COVID-19? We know so many of you were disappointed to have to cancel plans for the MG Conference this year. These are hard and scary times but we are #MGStrong—and we need to support each other more than ever! For the past couple of weeks, your MGFA staff have been working diligently and we are excited to announce that the national conference is ON!
The 2020 MGFA National Conference will provide 3 great days to counter cabin fever—and bring the MG Community together in a way that has never happened before.
The 2020 Conference will take place on a virtual platform on the same dates as the original conference: April 5-7. There are 14 educational sessions, featuring topics of interest such as complementary therapies, exercise and nutrition, infusion therapies, emergency preparedness, clinical trials and a special opening session on COVID-19 and MG—what every patient should know. All presented by top experts in the field of MG. There is even a special session for caregivers. Meet MGFA’s new CEO, and be among the first to see the brand new MG Awareness video. And there is more!
We know that the conference experience is more than the formal education, and this meeting should be no different. We are working with our partners, and NTT Digital Solutions, to create a full and rich experience for all attendees.
Through a state-of-the-art digital platform, you will not only be able to participate in educational sessions in the “theater,” you will also be able to have a full conference experience—almost like an in person meeting. You will be able to visit sponsor booths in the “exhibit hall,” chatting and viewing materials and providing input. There is a “lounge” where you can meet up and chat with other participants, and a “resource room” where you can download slides and handouts into your “virtual briefcase.” There will also be a “help desk” for any technical assistance that is needed…available from start to finish. There is time allotted for mix and mingle with sponsors and other attendees before the first session each day, and throughout the conference with lots of breaks.
