2016 MDF Annual Conference

The Latest in Research, Disease Management, Drug Development and more

This year’s MDF Annual Conference was held Thursday, September 15 - Saturday, September 17, 2016 in Washington, DC. We added an extra day to include the first DM Patient-Focused Drug Development (PFDD) meeting, where  MDF community members educated the FDA and other federal agency representatives about symptoms and disease issues that are most important to patients and families, and guided their thinking on DM drug review. The additional day also allowed us to provide more networking and education opportunities.
