As always, participants profited from the opportunity to gain new knowledge of MS management from renowned experts and to share their personal experiences in a collegial atmosphere. Over the past 10–15 years, there has been significant progress in the MS field, much of which can be ascribed to the development of new treatments that address the pathogenesis of the disease (especially the early phases). In parallel, we have come to recognize the benefits of a holistic approach to patient care as encapsulated by this year’s central theme: ‘MS: a new era of comprehensive management’. True to concept, the scientific program covered a wide range of topics of current interest to MS specialists, and combined plenary sessions with workshops and interactive country breakout sessions. The 2-day meeting held many highlights.
