Postponement Announcement of WDSC Brisbane 2020

As a result of the postponement of the World Down Syndrome Congress in Dubai, we will be moving the date of the WDSC in Brisbane, which was originally scheduled for 2022, until August 2024.
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, our main priority is the safety and well-being of our community. By moving the dates we aim to protect our delegates from any potential health risks, as well as avoid travel restrictions placed on countries that would limit the ability of some delegates from attending the congress.
A big thank you to everyone for your understanding. New dates will be announced in the coming months.
