The foundation welcomed its funded NMO Principal Investigators (PIs) as well as foreign and domestic NMO clinicians, researchers and laboratory staff who possess specific knowledge, experience and connectivity to NMO. Attendees also included the founders, medical advisors/consultants, staff, family and friends. As a result, over 85 attendees participated in days one and two of the NMO Roundtable Conference, a 13 percent increase from the 2010 Roundtable Conference.
