Calling its 2019 events a “huge success,” Cure SMA has announced it will host 21 Summit of Strength conferences next year.

“The 2019 Summit of Strength Program was a huge success, with more than 135 speakers sharing their expertise on numerous highly rated and unique topics,” the spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) organization said in a news announcement. “We would like to thank these wonderful speakers and all attendees for making this year’s program so engaging and insightful.”
