The International Symposium on Pediatric Neuro-Oncology is a conference that welcomes oncologists, neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, neurologists, nurses, basic researchers, neuro-pathologists, neuro-radiologists, endocrinologists, psychologists, social workers, research associates, and other health care providers involved in the care of children with central nervous system tumors.

This year, as with past years, the Childhood Brain Tumor Foundation (CBTF) continues to provide conference support and also directed some registration sponsorships for international registrants. Through these important international collaborations clinical and scientific progress is shared worldwide. As always, we will post a summary of meeting highlights.

For this 13th meeting an ISPNO Family Education Day has been created for families. The Family Education Day will take place on July 2, 2008 in Chicago, IL. Visit the ISPNO Web site http://www.ispno.com/family.html for more information. A tentative schedule and registration are posted.
