Happy Holidays to the Neural Tube Defect Community. Wishing you all the best in the coming New Year. I thought it would be good to reach out to you and remind you that the conference is going to be held in August, NOT IN OCTOBER this coming year, so it means that we will be setting the abstract submission deadline earlier than in the past. The organizing committee would like to receive your abstracts by May 1, 2024. Complete details are available on the ntdconference.com website. We hope to update the website soon with details and maps about Vancouver. Wishing everyone a peaceful (we need that more than ever) holiday and look forward to your abstracts in 2024!
