Our Research Symposium is an educational program for people affected by MS — a great opportunity to learn from the experts and an open forum for asking questions so that you can better understand developments in the field of MS.
Last year's keynote speaker discussed the role of sunlight and vitamin D in health and the impact on individuals living with MS. The program also included information about how National MS Society research dollars are being invested and especially about the many emerging therapies, including oral medications.
Our keynote speaker was Dr. Colleen Hayes. Afternoon sessions featured Society-funded research by Dr. Ernesto Bongarzone, Dr. Arthur Itkin and a special program for family and friends on meeting the challenges of MS for the long term, which featured Dr. Kathy Preissner of the University of Illinois in Chicago.
The research symposium was additionally made possible by generous contributions from:

Last year debuted a health expo which thanks in great part to contributions received from Novartis and other generous contributors.
