Today, almost 1,000 kids, teens, young adults and their families from across the country are joining together in the Hoosier state for the second of two nationalJuvenile Arthritis (JA) Conferences是关节炎基金会举办的。JA会议是一个独特的机会，让受JA和相关儿童风湿病影响的家庭、孩子、青少年和年轻人利用周末的时间建立联系，学习，分享技巧，并形成可以持续一生的纽带。
Held at the charming Hyatt Regency in the heart of downtown Indianapolis, a bustling area filled with restaurants and public parks and minutes away from Indianapolis Motor Speedway (home of the Indy 500), Lucas Oil Stadium (home of the Indianapolis Colts) and Victory Field (Indianapolis Indian’s ballpark – a Triple-A affiliate team of the Pittsburgh Pirates). The Indianapolis State Fairgrounds are also minutes away, and the state fair is in progress for all to enjoy. This week’s conference will round off our 33rd annual gathering of JA families and offers a variety of events and informational program tracks focused on networking, education and fun.
Over the four-day conference, attendees of all ages will find plenty to do – from the lively opening dinner and youth art exhibit to young adult discussion panels, health education from experts across the country and lots more.
New to the 2017 JA Conference – a mobile app that will accompany attendees and keep them updated with conference announcements in real time. The mobile app houses hotel and local maps, session information, session evaluations, the ability to craft your own schedule and share contact information with new connections.
“几个星期前，我们在休斯顿举行了第一次很棒的会议，我们很兴奋地开始了今年的第二次JA会议!2017年青少年关节炎会议志愿者主席凯蒂·卡特说。“我们期待着迎来更多的JA战士家庭，希望每个人都能放松，享受这段时间，并享受这一生难得的体验。”
