About the Conference

One voice. Shared standards. Better outcomes.

This conference convenes leaders across clinical, research, and industry settings to examine the rapidly evolving landscape of epilepsy neuromodulation.

Through curated sessions and discussions, participants will engage with new data, compare approaches across centers, and explore how emerging technologies are being applied in practice.

The agenda is designed to encourage cross-disciplinary dialogue, highlight areas of alignment and divergence, and support the development of more consistent, actionable standards that can guide both research and patient care.
