AAC is more than just a conference. It’s an online gathering place where Ataxia clinicians share strategies to help you manage care, people affected by Ataxia network with peers and build relationships that last far beyond the conference, and everyone works together to accelerate treatment development. Thank you to those who were a part of it in 2022!
Living with Ataxia is a journey that should not be taken alone. More than 700 attendees joined us at the virtual 2022 AAC to connect, learn, and take action toward a cure. From Care to Cure, NAF will be with you on the journey.

One of the most beloved features of AAC are the Birds of a Feather sessions. Because you enjoy them so much, we moved them to the first day of the conference! These smaller breakout sessions group you with other people who have the same type of Ataxia or are in a similar situation. They are more interactive, with opportunities to share with one another. Discussions are led by Ataxia professionals.
NAF invites world-leading Ataxia researchers and physicians to present at AAC.
