Annual meeting ICCTF
The ICCTF meets annually to promote integration between the Working Groups and to serve as a forum for the dissemination of research. Every other year this meeting will be organized as a Scientific Meeting with registration available to the entire scientific, clinical and patient advocacy community. On alternate years the ICCTF will host a Cognitive Workshop (by invitation only) in which the Working Groups will be integrated, keynote speakers will present on topical issues, and discussions amongst active participants (including the Steering Committee and Advisory Board) will continue to shape the direction of the ICCTF.
