2nd North American Epilepsy Congress, which will take place in a virtual format on 5-8 May

af Gitte Bramstorp

Dear ILAE Regional Chairs and Chapter Presidents:

We are writing to you to ask for your assistance in promoting the 2nd North American Epilepsy Congress, which will take place in a virtual format on 5-8 May.  The Congress has a unique and novel theme, “Bridging the Epilepsy Treatment Gap in Underserved Areas.”  The Scientific Organizing Committee has designed a compelling, diverse program, addressing distinct aspects of that theme with symposia focus on novel diagnostic methods and techniques to bridge the treatment gap.  Nations worldwide are tackling the treatment gap, so we believe this congress should have global attendance.

We have also extended the early registration deadline to 15 April and have newly discounted registration fees now based on profession and country income level.  ILEA has recategorized Caribbean countries that were in a high-income category down to upper middle and those that were in an upper middle-income category down to low & lower middle. The revised NAEC registration costs reflect a substantial discount on the prior fees, due to that recategorization.

Please forward one of the emails below to your contacts.  I have included two emails – one directed toward potential delegates from the Caribbean, and one directed to a general potential delegate audience.
