We are delighted to announce that bookings are now open for MDI’s National Conference 2026!

Conference theme

This year’s theme, Shared Voices, Shared Strength, celebrates the power of coming together as a community. It reflects not only the value of sharing our experiences and learning from one another, but also the strength we create through collective advocacy and action. Every voice matters, and together our voices can help drive positive change for people living with muscular dystrophy and related neuromuscular conditions.

Whether you are living with muscular dystrophy or a related neuromuscular condition, a family member, healthcare professional, or supporter, we look forward to welcoming you to this warm and inclusive event.

The conference will feature three tailored programmes:
• Adults’ Programme
• Youth Programme (8–17 years)
• Children’s Programme (5–7 years).

Refundable conference booking fee

This year, we have introduced a refundable conference booking fee to help us plan more accurately, make the best use of conference resources and protect vital services. You can find out more about this and other questions in the FAQs section on our conference website.

If you have any further questions about the conference, please contact us at respite@mdi.ie or phone our Information Line on +353 (0)1 623 6414.
