National Patient Conference

Find your community at our largest annual gathering

MGFA’s National Patient Conference is one of the largest gatherings of the myasthenia gravis community in the world. At the conference, you can: 

  • Learn about managing life with MG 
  • Find strength in connection with others 
  • Hear more about next generation of treatments moving us closer to a world without MG. 

You will not want to miss this powerful and impactful gathering. 

Register Now

This year’s conference takes place at the Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort, just outside of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, there is no registration fee for patients and caregivers. Register today to secure your spot!

If you cannot attend in person, plan to join us virtually – most sessions are livestreamed to accommodate the MG Community around the world. At this time, we kindly ask that you register only if you plan to attend in person. Virtual registration will open this spring.

A few things to look forward to:

  • Beach access and three pools available for resort guests
  • A few steps from many waterfront restaurants 
  • Wonderful hospitality 

Make your reservation via the button below to secure a special rate for conference attendees. We recommend making your arrangements early, as the room block is likely to sell out.

If at any point you need to adjust your reservation, or to request an ADA room at the conference rate, please call the resort at 954-874-4444. 

There are several additional hotels along the waterway that are convenient alternatives should you wish.
