The American Epilepsy Society’s (AES) Annual Meeting, taking place from December 5 to 9 in Atlanta, is the world’s largest gathering for professionals dedicated to the science and clinical care of epilepsy. Each year, the AES Annual Meeting brings together thousands of neurologists, epileptologists, neurophysiologists, researchers, nurses, technologists, industry leaders, and advocacy organizations from around the globe. It is the premier forum for exploring discoveries, addressing shared challenges, and collaborating toward better outcomes for children and adults living with epilepsy.
As the largest meeting and exhibition in the world focused on the scientific and clinical interests of epilepsy and clinical neurophysiology, the AES Annual Meeting plays a vital role in shaping the future of diagnosis, treatment, and innovation. Attendees gain access to cutting-edge research, educational sessions, late-breaking science, technology showcases, and networking with leading authorities in the field.
First Choice Neurology, the largest private practice, physician-owned neurology group in the United States, is proud to attend the conference. You can visit First Choice Neurology at Booth 1108 to learn about exciting career opportunities, research involvement, and our commitment to improving epilepsy care across Florida and beyond.
A Global Forum Dedicated to Improving Epilepsy Care
The AES Annual Meeting provides an unmatched platform where healthcare providers, scientists, advocates, and industry professionals all gather with a common goal: improving the lives of patients with epilepsy. The event promotes international engagement and offers sessions focused on education, research advancements, and clinical excellence.
From in-depth symposium with hands-on workshops to poster presentations and expert discussions. Attendees are exposed to the latest breakthroughs in seizure disorders, neurodiagnostic technology, anti-seizure medications, and surgical and device-based therapies. The meeting also emphasizes the importance of collaboration between pediatric and adult epilepsy specialists, highlighting ongoing efforts to refine care at every age and stage of life.
Pediatric Epilepsy: Meeting the Needs of the Youngest Patients
Epilepsy affects nearly 1 in 26 people, and many of these individuals experience their first seizure during childhood. Pediatric epilepsy is often complex and requires highly specialized expertise. At the AES Annual Meeting, professionals who focus on pediatric epilepsy gain valuable insights into early diagnosis, genetic epilepsies, developmental and epileptic encephalopathies, and advanced treatment options for children who do not respond to standard therapy.
Recorded sessions at the AES Annual Meeting include:
• Advances in Epilepsy Genetics: Bridging Pediatric and Adult Populations, Epilepsy related to genetic mutations or metabolic conditions
• Overcoming Challenges: Advanced Approaches in Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery
• Neonatal Seizures: Clinical Trial Readiness for Neonatal Seizures – Can We Prevent Epilepsy? Targeted therapies, including precision medicine and dietary treatments such as the ketogenic diet
Through education and collaboration, the conference provides clinicians with updated guidelines and research that directly influence the quality of care delivered to young patients and their families.
Adult Epilepsy: Advancing Treatment Options and Quality of Life
For adults, epilepsy can present with different challenges, including medication management, seizure control, comorbid health conditions, lifestyle concerns, and long-term neurological monitoring. The AES Annual Meeting showcases groundbreaking research that shapes the future of adult epilepsy treatment.
Topics will include:
• Advanced Diagnostic Testing for the Epilepsy Patient
• Personalized Precision Medicine in Epilepsy
• EEG Biomarker Challenge
• Exploring the Bidirectional Crosstalk Between Tumors and Seizures
• Use of Anti-Seizure Medications in the Era of AI and Precision Medicine
These discussions help neurologists refine their clinical approach, adopt new tools, and provide the highest level of care to adult epilepsy patients.
