On 10 October 2007 MSIF and the Czech MS Society (CzMSS), in collaboration with the European Multiple Sclerosis Platform (EMSP), held Prague07 - Living with MS: Today and Tomorrow, a free one-day event at the Prague Congress Centre, Prague.

The event was the first of its kind to be held in the Czech Republic. Leading international MS specialists presented the current and future developments of six key topics, introduced by people with MS. Topics included how MS is diagnosed, how information is provided, options for treatment, therapy, management and daily living.

The event, for 600 people affected by MS, health professionals and MS society staff and volunteers, preceded the 23rd Congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research of Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS) and the 12th Conference of Rehabilitation in Multiple Sclerosis (RIMS) which took place 11-14 October 2007.

In addition to providing a wonderful opportunity to hear about the current and future developments in living with MS, the event celebrated the 15th anniversary of the Czech MS Society and MSIF's 40th anniversary.
