Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Neuroscience Conferences for 2010




Do you want to attend a neurology, neurosurgery, or neuroscience conference this year? In an effort to provide a consolidated webpage, I’ve compiled what I deem the most exhaustive online listing for 2010. I’ve included as many links as possible to official sources/sites with a rough idea of registration fees; however, should I have left something out, please feel free to comment and I’ll be sure to update the list. Only programs conducted in English are included.

We would like to hear from program participants and organizers, especially on the less-known or fewer-attended conferences. As major conferences draw near (e.g., AAN, AES), we will offer reminders, customized coverage, and interactive commentary from participants, presenters, and speakers.

Note to medical residents: Here is your opportunity to use your residency allotment/stipend for conference travel. Remember to plan early to arrange for call schedules and rotation requirements. Also, should you have an interesting case or a research project with any findings, your abstract submissions will undoubtedly be accepted in conference proceedings and/or poster-presentations at most venues.
