The 2024 Patient and Loved One Summit was July 25-27!
The CDCN’s co-founder, Dr. David Fajgenbaum and the CDCN hosted the patient and loved one community in Philadelphia, PA for education, fun, and friendship.
This event sponsored by Recordati was held in person with a virtual component. Patients and loved ones from around the world came together to learn more about Castleman disease, connect with a supportive community, hear about the latest research from our experts, and get more involved in our collective fight against CD.
This year’s event was hosted at the Study University City Hotel, located at 20 S. 33rd Street in Philadelphia, PA, 19104 and the Saturday group activity was held at Sunset Social on the Cira Green Rooftop.
