NAAF Annual Patient Conference
Whether this was your first or fifteenth NAAF Conference, A Community Reunited certainly lived up to its name. Some 360 attendees gathered at Washington DC’s Hyatt Regency Capitol Hill from June 30 to July 3, to learn, listen, laugh, and most important, connect like this community hasn’t been able since 2019, seeing and being seen in a public place. There were too many highlights to list but Dr. Brett King’s informative presentation on new treatments, the Advocacy at Home Panel featuring surprise guest Congresswomen Ayanna Pressley, new NAAF President & CEO Nicole Friedland’s first address to the community, the screening of the movie Foxy followed by a Q&A with writer-director-star Trista Suke, and the Tortoise & Hair™ walk along the National Mall were emblematic of the variety of sessions and activities offered.
We will not soon forget our experiences and look forward to doing it all again next year in Denver, Colorado June 28 - July 2!
