ASCEND 2024 - the Rett Syndrome National Summit
The International Rett Syndrome Foundation is proud to present the ASCEND 2024 Rett Syndrome National Summit. Designed to unite us as a community, this event will bring together parents, families, clinicians, researchers, and Rett organizations from around the world.
ASCEND 2024 consists of two parts: a family conference and scientific meeting. During the 2 1/2-day family conference, you’re invited to:
LEARN.
Sessions, breakouts, and keynotes will cover the latest Rett syndrome research and treatment advancements, care topics, and more, all presented by Rett syndrome experts.
CONNECT.
Attend social activities every evening, including a welcome reception and the Purple Party, that provide ample opportunity to connect with friends, new and old.
GROW.
A dedicated Exhibitor Hall lets you meet with industry partners and learn about the newest products, services, and treatments available to your loved one with Rett syndrome.
Look for more information on the summit agenda, speakers, social activities, and more in the coming months!
Your registration for the 2.5-day family conference includes breakfast and lunch each day, evening social activities including a Welcome Reception and the Purple Party, and access to all plenary presentations, concurrent breakout sessions, and the exhibitor hall.

COLORADO FAMILIES! Are you wanting to go to Ascend but on a budget?
Did you know if you are on the CES waiver, you have benefits under Parent Education that will pay for the ticket for you? (If you choose to take your Rett child they are free, and there will be respite). If you don’t have CES, there are other ways to get it, such as through some of the other waivers and programs. You have to ask AND do it now! It may take time for it to get processed, so reach out to your people ASAP!
If they aren’t sure what you are talking about, let them know that “Yes, under the CES waiver, Parent Education funds will cover it!” For more information, contact us (Heidi Hedges or Lori Schroath).
RMRA is partnering with IRSF this year and we would love to have all our families there.
"We are very excited that the International Rett Syndrome Foundation is bringing ASCEND 2024 here to our beautiful state of Colorado! As a father of a special little girl with Rett Syndrome, I invite all families impacted by Rett to come and join us at this amazing conference and connect with many others in this special community of ours. We want to see all of you on the front range of the Rocky Mountains and experience ASCEND 2024!"
