National Family Conferences

The Foundation for Ichthyosis & Related Skin Types, Inc.TM (FIRST) hosts a 3-day national family conference every two years. This is FIRST's premier event open to all members of the Foundation. Traditionally the location for the conference moves across the country each time the conference is held.
