NOTE: In-person attendees with CF must submit a Medical Release Form (signed by their physician) as well as a Cross-Infection Liability Release form.  To attend the Conference, you must have completed a sputum/sinus/throat culture BETWEEN JUNE 11, 2025 AND JULY 12, 2025 so as to have a final report by July 22, 2025. (If you plan to attend both the Conference and the CF Summer Retreat in August, please schedule your sputum culture BETWEEN JULY 9 AND JULY 12, to avoid the need for two cultures, as results from this window of time will serve for both events.)

CFRI requires all in-person attendees, including exhibitors, to attest that they have received all COVID-19 vaccines for which they are eligible and that they will take a COVID test within 48 hours prior to arriving at the retreat to confirm that they are negative for COVID-19. Daily COVID-19 testing will be requested at the retreat; CFRI will provide the testing kits. Please refer to our Hygiene Guidelines for details.

CFRI’s 38th National CF Education Conference is sponsored to date by Vertex Pharmaceuticals, AbbVie, and ReCode Therapeutics.
