Livin' the Dream: California, July 2017

The 2016 Convention issue of
Down Syndrome News gives
an overview of last year's event.

It might be a long shot for most of us, but the (US) National Down Syndrome Congress (NDSC) annual convention, which moves around US locations each summer, is a highly regarded event that attracts an international audience. 

So if you are planning to be in North America around the middle of the year, it could be a worthwhile consideration for your itinerary. Or it might be a starting point for a travel plan. Proceedings are made available for purchase after the event. Plans for the 2017 convention are well advanced:
