During the summit, you will hear experts and peers talk about ways to overcome the emotional and physical challenges of MS. You will also have a chance to meet others with similar experiences.
Join the second annual summit to:
- Hear people with MS tell their inspiring stories on videos
- Participate in discussion sessions about emotional and physical wellness after listening to presentations by experts in MS
- Ask questions and discuss your successes and challenges
- Find valuable materials on related subjects to help you expand on what you learn and find assistance
- Connect with others living with the disease during meetups
Together we will talk about stigmas, tackle difficulties, find resources, learn healthy habits and discover our common voice. Each of our voices is powerful, and when we raise them together, we help make sure that no one has to face MS alone.

Host: Giselle O. Alvarez, performing artist, diagnosed with MS in 2016

Featured speaker: Dr. Lilyana Amezcua, MD, MS, associate professor of Clinical Neurology, USC's Keck School of Medicine
Join these casual meetups to connect with others who are navigating their own MS journey. Meetups will bring together people with common life experiences to exchange information, offer support and lift each other up.
