Step right into the buzzing hub of the NEC Symposium in San Diego as we take our show on the road for the first time! Amidst the infectious energy of a live conference, we share enlightening conversations filled with fascinating updates on neck research, care, and advocacy efforts from non-profit organizations with a vision of a world without NEC. Be privy to exclusive interviews with keynote speaker Dr. Gail Bestner, chief of pediatric surgery at Nationwide, as she provides intriguing insights on a probiotic that combats infection. We've pitched our recording setup just outside the Exhibitor Hall, soaking in the conference's electric atmosphere and connecting with passionate attendees. You'll hear daily updates, personal stories from families at the heart of our mission, and much more. Plus, if you're in the vicinity, don't hesitate to drop by for a chat - we'd love to hear from you! Even if you can't join us physically, we promise to keep the heartbeat of this vibrant event alive for you.
