Ask the experts featuring NF specialists from Albany Medical Center, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Columbia University Medical Center, and Yale School of Medicine.

Roundtable discussions where you can visit the tables that matter most to you and talk directly with our specialists in a relaxed setting about cognitive and behavioral challenges, medical and genetic concerns, hearing loss communication strategies, coping with anxiety and depression, and navigating college and employment.

Connect with the NF Community. Living with NF means a lot of questions, and not many places to ask them. On Saturday, November 14, NF Northeast is bringing the answers, and the community, to you.
