Conferences, Symposiums & Summits

This course trains young spine surgeons in basic approaches, decompression, and instrumentation techniques for the cervical spine and its junctional zones, from the occiput to the high thoracic spine. We intend to train surgical skills in the approach and the basic principles of surgical access and safe hardware placement.

The course will combine lectures and detailed 'hands-on' surgical instruction. The faculty, comprising highly experienced CSRS-Europe members and board members, will present short lectures on various topics to explain the steps of anatomical preparation and safe surgical techniques for the cervical spine.

European Headache Federation Since its foundation in 1992, EHF (European Headache Federation), a non-profit organisation, has sought to improve the life of those affected by headache in Europe. To do so, EHF dedicates its efforts to improving awareness of headache disorders and their impact amongst governments, health care providers and consumers across Europe.

Since the inaugural meeting in 1970, the Scottsdale Headache Symposium® continues to be a successful venue for providing practical, clinical, evidence-based information on the diagnosis, management and treatment of headache patients. Education is presented in didactic, case-based, evidence-based, panel and demonstrative formats over the course of four days.

Who Should Attend? This symposium is designed for general practitioners, internists, pediatricians, neurologists, anesthesiologists, dentists, physical therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, and other health professionals who treat headache.

Transform your approach to pain management in this comprehensive, expert-led course as you explore the latest advances in pharmacologic, behavioral, and interventional therapies, and gain practical tools for treating chronic, acute, and cancer-related pain across diverse patient populations.

A significant amount of research has indicated that many, if not all, types of pain are undertreated. Some data indicate that only 25% of patients treated for pain receive adequate relief. In addition, several studies have shown that various pain-relieving techniques may be used inappropriately, which can result in patient harm.

Evaluation and Treating Pain is a live course held each spring in Boston. It provides a comprehensive review and update of the basic science and advances in the field of pain medicine.

The faculty includes specialists in many aspects of pain medicine including anesthesiology, neurology, psychiatry and psychology, internal medicine, physical medicine and rehabilitation, orthopedic surgery, interventional radiology, and neurosurgery.

Participants learn how to diagnose common pain problems and explore various options for treatment of chronic pain, acute pain and cancer-related pain. Pharmacologic, behavioral and interventional treatments of pain will be discussed. Ample time will be spent addressing the role of opioids in the management of pain.

We are delighted to invite you to the Parkinson-Symposium hosted by the USZ Clinical Neurocenter.

On behalf of the Australian and New Zealand Association of Neurologists (ANZAN) Council, Judy Spies and Mark Parsons, chairs of the Scientific Program Committee, and I would like to invite you to attend the ANZAN Annual Scientific Meeting to be held in Sydney, 23rd-26th of June, 2026 at the International Conference and Exhibition Centre.

Following on from our very successful 75th anniversary celebration of ANZAN at the ASM meeting in Brisbane, we are looking forward to heading back to Sydney after 7 years. The program is coming together very nicely, with something on offer for all.

This is an opportunity for you to learn new things, network, catch up with friends, and make new ones. I also hope you get a chance to enjoy the spectacular scenery of the Harbour, and many of the other wonderful things that Sydney has to offer.

We look forward to welcoming you to Sydney for ANZAN 2026 for what should be another exciting meeting.

The Functional Neurovascular Anatomy course is a comprehensive and didactic review of the embryology and vascular anatomy necessary for neuroendovascular surgery. The course comprises lectures, 3D anatomic sessions as well as interactive workshops on angiographic images related to stroke cases.

The course has been created for neuroradiologists, radiologists, neurologists and neurosurgeons with particular interest in neurovascular diseases. It may be interesting to physicians in training to become INR specialists as well as senior physicians who wish to refresh their knowledge in functional neurovascular anatomy.

The Hands-On Cadaver Course Zurich Switzerland is an advanced medical training program focused on microneurosurgery and brain anatomy dissection using cadavers (human anatomical specimens). Participants learn neurosurgical anatomy, white matter fiber dissection, brain tumor surgery approaches, epilepsy surgery anatomy, and vascular microsurgical techniques through lectures and practical hands-on sessions.

We are delighted to announce that the 12th Annual Conference of the Neuroendoscopy Society of India - NEUROENDOCON 2026 will be held in Jaipur from 27th March to 28th March 2026, with pre-conference workshops on 26th March, 2026.
