Most of our Living with Epilepsy Community Educational Conferences have been recorded since 2018.
Topics include Special Needs Trust Planning, Cognitive Changes, Surgical Evaluation Processes, Mental Health, Women and Epilepsy, Neuromodulation with VNS and RNS, and longer conferences with information on the latest research and
treatment options, driving and epilepsy (and interfacing with the DMV), and more–all about everything we face when we are Living with Epilepsy.

Our Annual Physician Consortium* brings together epileptologists from all over the nation to convene and share the latest research and treatment options for epilepsy, featuring keynote speakers.
