Fueling bold ideas at our #WWN Breakfast of Champions, in collaboration with #IBRO, during #SfN2025. When bright minds gather early, strategic breakthroughs follow ☕🌟

Our #IBRO Board of Directors meets twice a year to review milestones and shape IBRO's next steps - and this time, we’re doing it in person! A chance to plan, reflect and reconnect.

Stayed tuned for updates on the coming year!
