In Willingen (Germany) the 14th 3-annual Conference took place of the German WS association Bundesverband Williams-Beuren-Syndrom e.V. from 8 till 10 May 2026. It was the largest Williams Syndrome conference ever in Germany and probably even in Europe. Some figures: 897 participants, 239 families, 234 Williams people, 177 children with 43 care takers, 108 Williams adults and 19 helpers for them, 14 speeches, 35 workshops, 6 round tables, 37 speakers and 7 consultation hours. And FEWS was present with a booth at the conference.
These were three days of information and interaction about Williams Syndrome. Every family member had his/her own timetable and program, whether they were parent, Williams person, siblings or other family members, adult, child or youngster.
The Conference gave uncountable hours of action, fun and happiness. Thanks to all the helpers, the speakers and the organizers!
