After a full day of sessions, take time to unwind and enjoy the company of others who truly understand the EB journey.
Our evening socials are a chance to step away from the conference schedule, share a laugh, and build the kind of connections that only happen when the EB Community comes together. We have three evenings planned; each one a little different, all of them welcoming.

For the first time ever, the debra of America Gala is coming to the DCC for an unforgettable opening night! This special event will bring together EB families, supporters, and partners under one roof to honor the great progress made in EB care and research, and to fuel the work still ahead.
The evening will feature passed hors d'oeuvres, dinner, silent auction, entertainment, and a presentation of community awards.
Tickets to the DCC Celebration are included for all EB families registered for the conference. Additional a la carte Celebration tickets are available for purchase below for those not otherwise included.

Grab your shades and chase the golden hour... the pool is calling! As the California sun dips low, we're turning the poolside into your own little slice of LA beach culture.
Come take a dip, jump into a game with friends, or just kick back and soak it all in. This is a come-and-go hangout, so come by whenever you're ready and stay as long as the mood takes you. No schedule, no agenda - just good people and good energy.
Suggested Attire: Lean into the beach club spirit with your best tropical fit, or simply wear whatever makes you the most comfortable.
See you poolside!

Back by popular demand and open to all ages, Community Karaoke Night returns for the 2026 DCC! This is LA, after all, so we're rolling out the red carpet for our community's brightest stars.
Our EB Community is brimming with talent, and this is your moment in the spotlight. Step up to the mic and belt out your favorite karaoke hit or an original song, solo or with your crew. The stage is yours!
More of a front-row fan than a performer? Every star needs an audience! Bring your best cheers, your loudest applause, and help make every act feel like a standing ovation. It's going to be a good show.
Suggested Attire: Channel your inner celebrity with red carpet glam, movie star shades, or your best award show look. Most importantly, wear whatever you feel the most comfortable in.
