The symposium will take place on April 7th and 8th, 2025 (Monday and Tuesday) in Las Vegas, Nevada. We understand traveling can be taxing physically and financially. Just because you are unable to attend in person, does not mean that you cannot ask our presenters questions. Below you will see a list of the guest speakers and the topics they will discuss.

If there is a topic that is being presented that you are interested in and have a question you would like us to ask during the Q & A session, please email it to us at events@cdtorticollis.org.

Please make your question short, precise and clear so the presenter can provide you with an answer that is direct and complete. Please have your questions emailed to us by Sunday, April 6th by 8:00 am Pacific Time. I will compile the questions together so they are ready for the following day.

Sincerely,

Justin, NSTA
