The CFRI 20th Annual Education Conference:
"Successful Strategies for Living Well with CF"

The CFRI celebrated its 20th Annual Education Conference August 10-12, 2007 in Redwood City, California. The conference was an opportunity to connect the CF community with the latest information regarding CF research, treatments, therapies and CF services. Presenters spoke on topics ranging from CF research, advanced gene therapies, clinical treatments, newborn screening, quality of life issues and concerns, as well as effective strategies for working within your school system.

As a participant, CysticFibrosis.com interviewed over thirty-two attendees. Doctors, researchers, advocates, parents and young people stopped by our CF lounge to speak with us about their professional and personal experiences with CF and the CFRI Conference. The importance of the CFRI's Education Conference was evident; we gained dynamic insight, significant data findings, relevant education and research information first hand and we are really excited to share it with the members of CysticFibrosis.com.

Over the next several weeks, CysticFibrosis.com will present a dynamic perspective of the CFRI Conference. We are excited to share these remarkable interviews with our online CF audience. Be empowered as you listen to the latest in research and education, and listen to the doctors and scientists speak of their findings and supported evidence. Be encouraged as you listen to those affected by CF tell their personal stories and how the CFRI Education Conference is helping raise awareness, and instill hope.

The CFRI is dedicated to supporting the entire CF community. For those of you who were unable to attend the event, the CFRI is offering the conference DVD collection. Click here to request your DVD collection.
