Sponsor the 2026 WSA International Convention

July 7–11, 2026 | Buffalo Convention Center | Buffalo, NY

This summer, 1,500 attendees will gather in Buffalo for the largest single convening of the Williams syndrome community in the world.

The Williams Syndrome Association (WSA) International Convention brings together individuals with Williams syndrome, their families, leading medical experts, researchers, and advocates for five days of learning, connection, and celebration. It is part medical summit, part family reunion, part movement.

And your company can be part of it.

Why This Audience Matters

Williams syndrome is a rare genetic condition occurring in approximately 1 in 10,000 births. Families affected by Williams syndrome are deeply engaged, highly networked, and fiercely loyal to organizations and brands that show up for them.
