Some kind words about our Summit

“Helpful!”

Thank you CMTA for the annual Patient & Family Conferences! It’s wonderful to be able to learn about CMT directly from top experts in the field and to be able to ask them questions. I especially appreciated the 2021 Conference as it was virtual, allowing participants to move around easily from topic to topic from the comfort of home. For those who couldn’t attend, the videos were later posted on CMTA’s website, which is a very helpful resource. Thank you very much!

“Incredible!”

Last year’s November 2021’s virtual CMTA Patient/Family conference provided incredible multidisciplinary content. The platform’s versatility, speaker’s expertise, and friendly CMTA staff moderators were all extremely impressive and effective. I especially appreciated the ability to watch webinars/talks on demand, following the conference, since the conference began very early for people on the west coast. Additionally, I relished the ability to rewatch a presentation with difficult subject matter or just to solidify the information.

“Wonderful!”

The CMTA Patient/Family Conference which was virtual in 2021 was a wonderful experience to be involved in. Having CMT1a I appreciated the variety of topics and speakers and also for the networking it afforded you as a conference goer.  I look forward to seeing what is offered in 2022 and beyond.
