Chairs’ Can’t-miss Picks for the Annual Meeting Each month leading up to the 2020 Annual Meeting, we’re asking AAN leaders tasked with planning the meeting to weigh in on can’t-miss events from their committee or subcommittee, as well as what they, personally, value most about the meeting itself.
Every year, scientific plenary sessions bring the most exciting developments to the thousands of attendees, including the cutting-edge neuroscience, the latest clinical trials across the spectrum of neurological diseases, hot topics in neurology, scientific advances that have already entered our clinical practice, and of course the controversies in neurology! I am always in the front row in those sessions, learning what’s new and am inspired about what’s yet to come! I also highly recommend our Neuroscience in the Clinic (NIC) programming, the Invited Science sessions, and of course everyone’s favorite—the original science presented in scientific platforms and electronic posters. One thing is for sure, there is no shortage of exciting science. Despite my many subspecialty research commitments, over the years the AAN’s Annual Meeting has become my most important conference to attend. I see it as a 'full immersion' experience for a subspecialty-trained stroke neurologist and clinician-scientist like me, where not only I reconnect with the entire spectrum of neurological science but also have the opportunity to engage with my neurology community and participate in activities (such as leadership development, mentorship, and well-being strategies, to name a few) that make our profession so unique and dynamic. I invite all my colleagues and friends to experience these opportunities at the Annual Meeting— and I’m looking forward to seeing you all in Toronto!
