Join Us in Niagara Falls, ON from Nov. 12 – 14, 2020!

This year, as we prepare to gather for HSC’s 37th National Conference, we have a lot to talk about! The HD community will look forward to learning about strategies and techniques in HD care, support for caregivers, making their own impact on the future of HD, and perhaps the biggest draw, the latest news on the first-ever human clinical trials targeting the root cause of HD.

Our 2020 conference is expected to be the largest HSC National Conference to date, with over 350 attendees descending on the beautiful golden horseshoe and Ontario’s own wonder of the world, Niagara Falls, ON.

HSC’s biennial National Conference is the pivotal event for families and individuals living with HD. It is the one weekend, every two years, when families are surrounded by others who understand their shared experience, when the overwhelming sense of isolation is broken and hope is restored.
