Team
We were inspired to embark on this endeavor by the unfortunate loss of several people due to the burdens imposed by Long Covid and ME/CFS. Recognizing our responsibility as one of the less severely affected, we felt compelled to act through initiating a community-driven and crowdfunded conference project aimed at fostering change and paradigm shifts.
