Hope Conference set to educate Nov. 2-4 in person and online
Free event seeks to empower hemophilia and bleeding disorders community
This year’s Hope Conference, a national educational event presented by Hope Charities for the bleeding disorders community, is set for Nov. 2-4 in Florida, with an online option as well.
The annual conference, to be presented at the Baytowne Conference Center, in Miramar Beach, is designed to bring together people living with bleeding conditions, such as hemophilia, as well as their families, caregivers, friends and other advocates.
“This is an annual patient education event where people living with bleeding disorders come to learn, grow and develop,” Hope states on a conference webpage.
“Hope Conference is focused on education, empowerment, and community. We are proud to bring a diverse group of attendees living with bleeding disorders from around the United States,” the webpage states.
The event is free for all except for specialty pharmacies, treatment manufacturers, or other industry representatives, who must pay a $600 fee. All attendees are responsible for their travel and lodging. Registration is now open for all participants.
Special Hope Night event to be offered for youth during conference
The in-person event will include speaker presentations by community experts, panels, and breakout sessions, with meals provided. Select sessions will be presented in Spanish or have Spanish translation available.
A Kids & Teens Program will occur on Nov. 2-3 for youth ages 5-17, with fun activities tailored for different age groups. The Nov. 4 agenda will include a college football watch party and a beach social.
Hope Night, slated for Nov. 2 for adult attendees, will award community members who have worked to support those living with bleeding disorders.
“Hope Night is an exciting time to celebrate all the amazing work our community has done to help people living with bleeding disorders through resources, education, and community,” the organization states on an webpage for this Thursday night event.
According to the webpage: “This award ceremony night is an elegant experience you do not want to miss!”

The online schedule varies slightly from the in-person program, although participants will be able to join in all conference sessions and ceremonies. Attendees must register to receive conference information, updates, and links to join Zoom sessions.
“You will still have access to everything going on at Hope Conference from the comfort of your own living room or office,” Hope Charities notes on a webpage about the conference’s online presentation.
“You will join other individuals from around the country who live with a bleeding disorder, win some amazing prizes given away at every session, and learn from some incredible speakers,” the webpage further states.
