18th C3G/DDD Family Conference
October 13-14, 2023 • University of Iowa
The University of Iowa Molecular Otolaryngology & Renal Research Laboratories (MORL) and Kidneeds announce the 18th C3G/ DDD Family Conference to be held at the University of Iowa on Oct. 13-14, 2023. This collaborative effort will bring you the latest medical updates regarding C3GN and DDD.
Please join us for the 18th C3G/DDD Family Conference by registering for the Friday, October 13, 2023 Welcome Dinner at The University of Iowa Hall of Fame and the Saturday, October 14, 2023 full day conference by completing the form below.
To accommodate as many patients as possible Drs Nester and Smith will once again open the Rare Renal Clinic for patients attending the conference for the day and a half before the conference. Starting at noon on Thursday, October 12, 2023 and continuing through Friday, October 13, 2023, there will be a limited number of formal appointments for patients to be seen in the Rare Renal Clinic.
If you are interested in a formal appointment with Drs Nester and Smith during this special Rare Renal Clinic, please contact Monica Hall at monica‐hall@uiowa.edu. She will work with you to schedule an appointment and to obtain the necessary clinical material prior to your visit. Because this appointment is scheduled through the hospital, the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinic will bill you for this visit and therefore insurance clearance must be obtained in advance of the appointment.
There are no costs to attend this conference or any of the meals associated with the conference, but please note that travel to and from the conference and accommodations for the conference are not covered by MORL or Kidneeds.
Saturday night after the conference, keep the conversations going with dinner with The Smith Family (Richard Smith and Lynne Lanning) and your fellow attendees. Details to follow later.
