Brooklyn, NY, 11249
Chronicon is on a mission to elevate the visibility of the 133+ million Americans living with a chronic illness. Because, let’s be honest—this population deserves more love and support.
Through live experiences, content, and partnerships we create a safe container for people to hear the stories of thought-leaders and experts, find strength beyond their symptoms, and break the cycle of isolation that often accompanies feeling at odds with their bodies.
Inclusive. Diverse. Mindful. It’s our intention to make you feel seen, heard, and held. Because you are not alone, you are loved, and you belong.

FAQ
What is a chronic illness?
A chronic illness, as defined by the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics, is a disease lasting three months or longer. About 40 million Americans are limited in their usual activities due to one or more chronic health conditions.
What is Chronicon?
It is a one of a kind event rooted in the core belief that we are all so much more than the chronic conditions we might have and even struggle with at times. It is for anyone who doesn’t feel 100% well physically, emotionally or mentally and wants to feel less alone in their experience.
Why should I attend?
Chances are you have a friend, family member or colleague who is struggling with a chronic illness, and you might even be dealing with one yourself. Studies show that 45% of the United States population has at least one chronic illness today, and the rates are expected to rise to 49% by 2030. So why is the world set up to discount this incredibly large audience and leave it out of some of the most common everyday experiences? At Chronicon, we plan to include those who fit in this category and celebrate all they have been through and how they have learned to thrive in their lives.

Yes! The entrance and entire venue is wheelchair accessible but please contact us at contact@chronicon.co if you need assistance with your mobility aid so we can make sure you will have everything you need.
