2023 JA Family Summit – Atlanta, Georgia
The annual JA Family Summit (previously known as the National JA Conference) is the Arthritis Foundation’s signature, nationwide event for families affected by juvenile arthritis and childhood rheumatic diseases. This four-day educational conference focuses on health, wellness and fun for families, children/teens (ages 6 months and up) and young adults (ages 18-30) affected by JA and related childhood rheumatic diseases.
Conference registration includes educational sessions for parents/caregivers, young adults (ages 18-30), kids (ages 6 months and up) and teen-specific programs and activities; siblings are also invited. In addition to the educational programming, registration includes four meals, opening dinner (Thursday), lunch (Friday), closing dinner (Saturday), a light continental breakfast (Sunday) and attendee T-shirts.
The safety and security of our conference attendees is important to us. Therefore, registration for every family member attending any portion of conference events (adult and child) is required. Walk-up or onsite registrations are not available.
NOTE: Hotel reservations at the Renaissance Atlanta Waverly are NOT included in your conference registration and should be made separately.
Volunteer Opportunities: if you are registering to attend the conference and would also like to volunteer, please register using the registration type for your conference attendance (enter family/individual instead of the volunteer registration type). You will be prompted to review and select volunteer shifts within your conference registration. If you are just registering as a volunteer for the JA Family Summit and not as an attendee, please use the volunteer registration type.
