Children’s tumor foundation hosts landmark six-day NF conference;

In June 2024, the Children’s Tumor Foundation (CTF) held a groundbreaking Global NF Conference at The EGG in Brussels, marking one of the longest events ever hosted at the venue. Spanning six days, the conference gathered top researchers, clinicians, and advocates to tackle neurofibromatosis (NF), a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of tumors on nerves. The extended format allowed for an in-depth exploration of the latest scientific advancements, clinical trials, and therapeutic strategies.

With more than 200 speakers presenting their cutting-edge research and clinical insights, the conference provided a platform for robust discussions and collaborative opportunities. Attendees participated in technical workshops, patient forums, and networking sessions, creating a dynamic environment for sharing knowledge and fostering partnerships.

The choice of The EGG, known for its state-of-the-art facilities and ample space, proved ideal for accommodating the event’s extensive schedule. The venue’s flexibility supported a wide range of sessions, from detailed scientific presentations to broader discussions aimed at increasing public awareness of NF.

The success of this six-day conference underscores the commitment of the Children’s Tumor Foundation to advancing the understanding and treatment of neurofibromatosis. By setting a new standard for length and depth, the event has positioned itself as a pivotal moment in the ongoing effort to improve outcomes for those affected by NF.
