Hello NNS 2022 Attendees,

On behalf of the National Neurotrauma Society, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 39^th Annual Symposium of the National Neurotrauma Society, including the AANS/CNS Joint Section on Neurotrauma and Critical Care.

It is so very exciting for us all to be together again and share our advances in neurotrauma research. Dr. Griesbach and the Program Committee have assembled an absolutely amazing and comprehensive program.  Sessions will highlight cutting edge research, and span from preclinical to clinical, from acute care to rehabilitation and across the lifespan. In addition, we have an outstanding slate of national and international neurotrauma speakers, and a remarkable venue here at the Westin Peachtree Plaza in Atlanta. But most importantly, we will finally be able to interact in person, network, and meet new colleagues. In fact, if this is your first NNS Symposium to attend, please come up and introduce yourself to me.

I would like to thank Dr. Griesbach, the Program Committee and the ICS Conference Team for their hard work organizing the Symposium.  I would also like to thank all NNS Council members and Officers, as well as all NNS committee members, for everything they have done for the Society over this last year. It has been an exceptionally challenging few years. But thanks to everyone’s hard work, NNS has emerged as a growing, vibrant society that will continue to fulfill its mission of promoting excellence in the neurotrauma field. 

 Welcome to Atlanta!
