We’re Uniting Families, Researchers & Biotech Companies in the Fight Against GM1
Each year, the Cure GM1 conference galvanizes our global community, fostering a sense of solidarity and shared purpose. It’s a platform where real change begins, through advocacy, increased awareness, and the acceleration of the drug development process. For supporters, sponsors, and donors, this event offers a chance to directly contribute to these efforts, impacting lives and driving forward the mission of finding possible treatments for GM1 gangliosidosis.
Cure GM1 Foundation’s Annual International GM1 Community Conference is an invaluable resource for families, researchers, and biotech companies. This year’s event was held 100% virtually on October 2, 2026, so it was accessible to as many GM1 families as possible. The event was FREE for GM1 families, and session recordings are available to registrants. We are grateful for our sponsors who have helped make this event a reality, year after year.
