SUMMARY:Life Fest 2024 - San José
DESCRIPTION:REGISTERLife Fest 2024 is July 19th – 21st in San José\, CA!\nLife Fest is a unique event where patients and caregivers come together for a weekend to interact with each other and the medical and scientific communities that serve them. Faced with a rare form of cancer\, GIST patients have a great need for information about this disease\, particularly as the science evolves and our understanding reveals a complex set of subtypes of GIST\, each responding differently to available treatments. Each year brings a wealth of new information\, and patients are eager to learn about the latest treatments.  \nLife Fest workshops provide patients with emerging medical information\, and they come away with a deeper knowledge of the disease\, treatments and side effect management. They find hope in knowing the scientific community is working toward a cure\, and hope is such a vital asset as they struggle day by day for survival.  \nThe Life Raft Group emerged in recognition of the tremendous need for support in the GIST community. Life Fest 2024 will provide patients and caregivers with that support. Coming together with fellow patients from all walks of life from around the world is a meaningful and powerful experience. In addition to our traditional educational workshops\, Life Fest 2024 will feature scientific presentations highlighting the newest research and the latest treatments.  \nView presentations & photo galleries of previous Life Fest events \nClick image for a PDF of the Agenda: \n \nParking\, Hotels & Flights\nParking for the conference location (Signia Hilton Hotel San Jose): \nValet parking from Reef Valet at the hotel is available for $47 overnight.
