SAVE THE DATE FOR THE 2026 INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION!

When: Tuesday, July 7 - Saturday, July 11, 2026

Where: Buffalo/Niagara, New York

Held biannually in July, the WSA National Convention is the LARGEST Williams syndrome event in the country bringing together the foremost experts on Williams syndrome and related characteristics to discuss the latest research findings, medical treatments, and educational strategies. More than 60 educational sessions provide families with the latest resources and information, while children, and adults with Williams syndrome are offered specialized age-appropriate programs. 

In addition to everything mentioned above, when you join us at the 2026 Convention, you will be able to:

  • Begin each day with continental breakfast and a message from our keynote or general sessions speakers.
  • Participate in various "roundtable" small group discussions throughout each day. Invite others to join you (or you join theirs) as you participate in informal discussions and information exchanges around various offered topics.
  • Attend optional evening entertainment for the whole family throughout the week.
  • and more!
