2024 VaAGC Annual Educational Conference

Hello Future VaAGC Annual Education Meeting Attendees!

The 2024 Conference has been planned in a HYBRID format. We hope most will choose to attend in person and get the full conference experience of networking and visiting vendor booths!

For those who are able to attend in person, we will welcome you in Fairfax on April 25-26th! We will be complying with all state and local COVID-19 safety protocols.

For those unable to attend in person or who prefer a virtual format, we have teamed up with a local AV company to live-stream each talk and allow opportunities for you to engage with the speakers from the comfort of your home or office. We ask that you pre-register for your preferred attendance format.

The conference planning committee submitted to the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) for 10 Category 1 contact hours (1.0 CEU) for the activity Virginia Association of Genetic Counselors 18th Annual Educational Conference.
