It is very fitting that this unique meeting is being held during CTF’s 40th anniversary year in the beautiful, historic city of Paris, the City of Light, a global center of art, architecture, gastronomy and fashion. And for the next several days, the global epicenter of neurofibromatosis research, clinical care, patient education and advocacy. With a nod to the famous American composer, George Gershwin, it was Pierre Wolkenstein’s dream some years ago to have “An American in Paris,” in a symbolic message of global unity. Annette Bakker, president of the Children’s Tumor Foundation, shared that dream and agreed for CTF to be that American in Paris, and to bring its annual international conference to this glorious European capital. So for the first time, CTF, whose meeting has grown over the years to over 400 participants, agreed to join forces with the European NF Group, and the NF2 and schwannomatosis specialists with their bi-annual State of the Art meeting, to host the largest-ever gathering of the top NF researchers and clinicians in the world. This meeting will also play host to an international group of patients and patient advocates bringing the participant level to over 700! Much information will be shared over the coming days—from the promise of MEK inhibitors and the selumetinib clinical trials to the outcomes of CTF-sponsored pivotal workshops that have been held this year—a review and revision of the diagnostic criteria of the neurofibromatoses, and an animal model workshop that considered and classified NF-specific animal models, including the newly-developed and promising pig models. We have expanded the platform for experts in psychosocial issues to engage attendees in a broader discussion of the quality of life of NF patients, and, for the first time, a live surgery workshop is being offered that will have three different operations to view. We want to remind our participants that one of the goals of this meeting is to foster strong and lasting relationships. While you are here, enjoy the company of old friends, make some new friends, celebrate each other’s successes and discoveries, and build on this knowledge. This is an opportunity to share science amongst friends—science without borders. NF has No Frontiers. Nor do we, the global NF community. The next several days will be intellectually challenging, but we encourage you to engage in the discourse, challenge the information that will be put forth, and strive to make the science better together to reach the ultimate goal—to end NF. Bienvenue à Paris—Welcome to Paris!
