Welcome to Building Bridges
Building Bridges is CanPKU+’s signature conference experience, bringing together individuals, families, clinicians, researchers, industry partners, and advocates from across the rare metabolic disorder community.
Designed to foster understanding, collaboration, and shared learning, Building Bridges creates space for meaningful connections at every level. Whether you are attending as an individual, a family member, or a professional, there is a place for you here.
Individuals, Families, and Community
Building Bridges focus on individuals and families living with PKU and allied disorders. Programming is designed to be welcoming, practical, and supportive, with opportunities to learn, share experiences, and build lasting relationships.
- Family-focused and age-appropriate sessions
- Community discussions and shared experiences
- Supportive learning without a classroom feel
- Time to connect, recharge, and belong
Professional and Scientific Programming
As Building Bridges progresses, the conference expands to include in-depth professional and scientific programming. This portion of the event is designed for clinicians, researchers, allied health professionals, and industry partners.
Sessions focus on current research, clinical practice, lived experience, and collaboration across disciplines, creating opportunities for shared learning between professionals and the community.
This year we are changing it up a bit and moving into GARROD for some of the professional content.
In Collaboration with the GARROD Symposium
Building Bridges 2026 will once again include collaboration with the GARROD Symposium, bringing together scientific expertise and patient-centered perspectives in one shared space.
This partnership strengthens dialogue between researchers, clinicians, and the community, ensuring that knowledge exchange remains meaningful, relevant, and grounded in real-world experience.
