It takes place at the Renaissance Atlanta Waverly Hotel & Convention Center in Atlanta, Georgia.
The identified audiences include scientists, clinicians, industry representatives, and patient groups.
It is most useful for ataxia researchers and clinicians who want to meet peers working on cerebellar function, neurodegeneration and treatment, since it is co-hosted by NAF, FARA, AGI and Ataxia UK and speakers come from institutions such as Washington University School of Medicine, the Broad Institute and Paris Brain Institute. Patient groups and industry representatives also attend, so it suits advocacy and drug development contacts, while clinicians or scientists outside the ataxia and neurodegeneration field would get less from a congress this specialised.
Attendees at scientific and clinical research congresses usually wear business casual, with lab and clinic staff in slacks or skirts and collared shirts, and some in jackets for plenary sessions.
