The USH Connections Conference is the largest gathering of the global Usher syndrome community. In 2022, the Usher Syndrome Coalition held the Connections Conference as a hybrid event for the first time, hosting 355 participants, both in-person and virtually.

The purpose of the USH Connections Conference is to remind those in the Usher community that they are not alone and to empower families with knowledge about Usher syndrome, available resources, and current research efforts. Over the years, over 1200 attendees from 28 countries and 42 states have come together at these conferences to learn, share, and meet their "USH Family."

In 2022, around 40% of attendees were parents and family members, 30% were adults living with Usher syndrome, and the remaining attendees were researchers, clinicians, and professionals serving the Usher community.

WHY A HYBRID EVENT?
In 2020, it became clear how important virtual access is to so many in the Usher syndrome community. With a focus on intentional engagement of remote attendees and increased access to language translation technology, USH2024 has the potential to be our most inclusive and far-reaching gathering yet.
