Board meeting 2020-2023

agenda & minutes

Minutes from 03.07.2024

Christelle's minutes:

Online TS-school

-Tammy will share the link in the UK TS group, to advertize the event
- We shall wear the same clothes during the recording and during the live discussion
- Welcome : live (let’s meet 15 min before), cases : live, discussion : live. Rest of presentations: pre-recorded (for technical reasons), on Zoom for example. Then we send to Anna
- Break out room : depending on the number of participants
- Moderator : Nanette
- Let’s think about questions to initiate the discussion.
- Let’s talk in the private chat (in ‘admin’) to decide which one goes on stage.

Agenda

- Mary Robertson : will give the Award. Let’s wait to be sure she comes, at that time, let’s discuss gestures
- Opening ceremony : Villa Panza ? 13,000e + costs for furnitures, for n=130, not within a walking distance. Mini bus : will increase the costs. Or via taxi. Or consider Villa Panza as a walking tour ; we need to be sure we have the sponsor and registration money.
→ Even though there are downsides, it is still a unique venue and it would be worth it
-No other locations are at walking distance
- Cocktail : at the hotel. 2,500e less expensive than last year
- Behavioural therapy : 2h session for Valentina in Italian ; let’s wait for the English session to be organised to be sure how it will go
- Underrepresented zone session : Constantin will attend, so no pre-recorded talk for him. Could we ask the Greek team for a 5-10 min recorded session ? (Marla talked about it, she had a link with an association).
→ Let’s ask them after the TS-school.

For episode 4

✅ Scheduled for 6 May.
Interviewing D Mataix-Cols for the paper "Early-Life and Family Risk Factors for Tic Disorder Persistence into Adulthood » (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37246931/)
Interviewing Lindsay Berg about « Symptom Severity and Health Impacts of Functional Tic-Like Behaviors in Youth (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38603984/): interesting, but about FTLBs and not tics.
Making an episode about DBS (indications, risks, disparities of access), I thought about asking Yulia. (Suggestion by Kirsten: Juan Carlos Baldermann)

For episode 5

I would like to interview a teacher and a parent about challenges of having a child with tics in the classroom, and then interview Julian Fletcher about potential solutions. It will take more time to do and Julian is busy this month, so I think it’s good for Episode 5.

ESSTS Conference 2025 location

The short version; both Bergen and Paris are unviable options as it stands.

-Heike has been very active and has collected different cost estimates; unfortunately, non budget-compatible.

-From the Parisian venues contacted, 3 out of 6 replied, all of them out of reach.

-Realistic brainstorming; other alternative?? Cheaper destination*? Virtual conference? :(

*Anna might have a back-up plan(ish) to consider in case of a dead-end.

Updated from previous meeting:

-Athens as a back up; 4 venues have been contacted for estimates

Finances

-Check the budget sheet & sub-sheets (button top of the page).

-Discussion (faster to communicate the current landscape orally than type; Anna says sorry!)

Updated from previous meeting:

-Contacted Billie Eilish's managers, by @Christelle

-Donation campaign?

(Andreas already composed a draft/concept for consideration 😊)

Dear Friends of ESSTS,
Over the past years, ESSTS has grown and advanced in big strides with an ever-increasing number of attendees at our annual conference, and a wide choice of services and resources now offered (podcasts, webinars, the TS School…).
However, sponsorship money is on the decrease, and membership adhesions remain disappointingly low. For this reason, despite all the hard work, the shiny website and newsletters, we continue to struggle financially, barely making it from one year to another. In other words, we need a financial buffer and, if the term is appropriate, some peace of mind to continue working over the next years.
Thus, we would like to make a plea for donations. The donation button has actually existed on the ESSTS website since 2018 but never used.
Maybe, if you have patients or colleagues who might wish to help us, make them aware. Equally, we are always glad to welcome new sponsors. And please do not hesitate to contact us in case of questions.
Thank you for your support!
The ESSTS Board

-Possible participation by Tourette Greece (ongoing communication) and/or Greek professionals (attended online TS-school).

-Can we also include Nigerian colleague Joy Legbo (Paediatric Neurology, currently shadowing Andreas in Paris for 6 months, husband with TS)? She attended the online TS-school and would be very interested in sharing her experience. (Discussed with Marla, TTAG is in favour!)

-If yes, is it possible to consider waiving her registration fee? Andreas has offered to cover her traveling, accommodation & social event expenses, as she does not currently have any funds to cover such activities.

Board meeting III, 01.11.2023-Agenda of the day

Meeting with Cristiano (24.10) quick debrief points:

- Teachers' event will take place on Wed 12 Jun between 14:30-17:00 at the University main hall (large audience expected ~300), 1,5km from the conference hotel.

- This is a free event.

- In addition to local speakers, the role of...international guest speakers will be bestowed upon Andrea and Davide; no need to arrange for a simultaneous translation.

- Cristiano will enquire about the possibility of covering the costs of ST for the TS-school, as it will allow young (local) neuropsychiatrists to attend. (Will also enquire about TTAG session and BT workshop)

- Topic suggestion by Renata Rizzo: Round table to discuss treatment-resisting cases, compare experiences, etc.
Possible to integrate it into Clinical rounds session?

- Social event alternative; "Lady Tourette" theatre on Thu 13.06

- Ask Valentina whether additional BT trainers might be needed to run the IT BT worksop(s).

Nanette already got in touch-to discuss.

- Social event venue options; hotel, or different restaurant/space. Cristiano will gather quotes.
He suggests the SE take place at the hotel (beautiful setting) and the opening ceremony cocktail is held at a different location, combining a bit of sight-seeing experience, such as:
Villa Panza
Sacro Monte
Hermitage Santa Caterina
Torba Monastery

Time-sensitive matters! ⏱️

Speakers & programme

Check the speakers sheet; how do we proceed and shall we make some names/sessions definitive and thus...announceable?

- Christos Ganos was initially invited as a EU speaker, but will be moving to Toronto very soon. Travel expenses for N.A. speakers include up to 2,000USD for airfare and 3 nights vs €200 and 2 nights for EU speakers...
If, however, Irene and Kevin are the only ones invited from across the pond, then we remain within the 3 transatlantic guests that has been the "affordable" number so far. To discuss.

Sponsors

Once we have a concrete draft let the door-knocking begin!

- See Sponsors Varese 2024 sheet and feel free to proceed. ;)

- Same sponsorship levels as last year?

- We have the 2^nd hotel deposit coming up, €17,6K on 20^thJan 2024

Networking:

- Breakfast/"speed date"/or similar concept, to allow introduction & exchange between young and experienced researchers

Genetics

- Carol Matthews (🤔 ?? Invited in Brussels...)

Neurocognition

- Speaker in mind?

Symposium on parents' interventions with John Piacentini's participation

Other non-EU speakers to consider

- Flora Vaccarino? ...back home ?! 🇮🇹

Controversy followed by poll for 2024?

Beyond/in addition to TS-school

-Training course for educators/teachers? (Cristiano's suggestion/wish)
Consider organising the TS-school (for conference participants/local professionals) and the training course for local educators/teachers? Especially if this is largely taken care of locally...

To do list "before & after":

- Ask invited speakers for their disclosures.
- Send a survey link to participants after the meeting to collect feedback.

Board elections

-Anna is finishing up candidates doc; news post will be created on the website and newsletter will be sent to active board members to review candidates and get info on voting process

Suggestions, remarks on the above?

From previous board meeting-tasks in progress:

Catering

Coffee break bites being taken care of/in progress

Brainstorm on possible issues

-Shall we all start listing those things/areas that need to be anticipated and covered before they actually become issues?

There will be either an app or most likely a dedicated page offering answers to various questions and topics such as transport, tickets, plugs & converters, etc. ;)

Print list; badges/posters/name tags/banners, etc...

Being taken care of/in progress

Accessories/gifts/custom made items

Shall we offer Mary something like an honouring plaque & flowers? Other ideas?

Other items on list in previous meeting agenda; being taken care of/in progress

Varese

-Check Varese docs; propose some edits (there are a few!) & proceed with deposit payment?

This does not need to be decided today but a reply is expected within this/following week...

-Answer TAA regarding world congress?

Board meeting 13.04.2023-Agenda of the day

Possibly looking at breaking 3 records...registered attendees, memberships and submitted abstracts!
(and sponsorship support!)

Registrations overview

vs 91 in Lausanne; definitive number

-Social event: 70

-ESSTS members: 48 (16J & 32S)

Submissions

-Abstracts received: 57 (+ 1 to come)

-MRA entries: 3

-Clinical cases: 2

TS-school & workshops

-TS-school: 10-11
-FR workshop: 5 (4 conference & 1 external)
-NL workshop: 1

-Course of action?

-Merge all TS-school presentations into a downloadable file and make it available via QR code on the attendees badge?

-Consider printing it as a booklet?

Sponsors

-Funds received=€40K in total:
3 Bronze (€5K) Neupulse, Scisparc, Bedrocan, 1 Gold (€15K) Emalex and 1 Silver (€10K) Noema

-Neupulse (2) and Emalex (1 or 2?) will be attending the conference.

-Contact Azarina as asked in case they can offer more than Bronze? Nanette?

-Eurox/Avextra pending

Accommodation

-We have 2 single and 2 double rooms available at Rastelli; whom shall we make happy? :)
Ideally attendees who participate in the morning run?

Catering

Looking for an affordable option to include some cookie-type bites into the coffee breaks outside Bistro Tembo's quote. (Anna/Seonaid liaising with local bakeries and sourcing online solutions)

Board elections

-@Natalia, submit your candidacy! Deadline is 23 April!

-Shall we remind Tammy/Christelle?

CME

-Application submitted and payment made on 17.03-€454

Poster rounds/OPs; UX for authors & attendees

-As last year, are we making posters available online as well to facilitate re-viewing and "Best of" voting?

-Shall we offer PP authors the possibility to send us a video link presenting their data (as we did at the virtual meeting) that will be accessible via QR code next to their printed poster?

Thinking about the tight time constraints here and how we could still optimise the experience...
I even thought of extracting the audio of the presentation instead; it would be like the guided museum tours where you look at the exhibits, you scan and hear the description :))

-Other suggestions?

-Anything specific that should be mentioned when contacting authors on Friday to deliver the good news?

Cultural activities

-Live music is a no-go (not necessarily a bad development-Anna will elaborate)

-Theatre extract still OK-details are being finalised. (Seonaid might have more to add)

Accessories/gifts/custom made items

-As in Lausanne, budget allows for (better quality this year!) memento tote bags

-Reward-award items, –water bottles, custom sports bag– for morning run finalists (3) and memento medaillons or similar for courageous participants?

-Same concept for "Best of" winners?

-In addition to the conference banner, shall we make a "tribute" one to TS Awareness day in combination with Mary's birthday?

Media/Exposure

-A few local/national Belgian associations still to contact notably for TS-school & NL/FR workshops)

-Given the buzz/momentum triggered by L. Capaldi documentary; shall we reach out to journalists that have already written on TS subject and invite them to the conference (irrespectively of whether they will actually come) but mainly aim at some publicity for the Society on the mid/long run? (Anna will elaborate on some ideas/cases...as audacious as they might sound! ;) )

Volunteers & help on site

-We are prone to face a bit of a challenge here, to discuss live.
-TTAG members are eager and have agreed to help but their meeting coincides with what we expect to be simultaneous arrival on the first day...

Brainstorm on possible issues

-Shall we all start listing those things/areas that need to be anticipated and covered before they actually become issues?
There will be either an app or most likely a dedicated page offering answers to various questions and topics such as transport, tickets, plugs & converters, etc. ;)

To discuss & pending topics from previous meeting:
