This is first Annual Meeting to be held outside of the United States. From thought-provoking sessions and visionary abstracts to a variety of discussion forums positioned to challenge our status quo. We are pleased to welcome back our partners in scientific programming: the AANS/CNS Joint Cerebrovascular Section, led by Christopher Kellner, MD and the European Society of Minimally Invasive Neurological Therapy (ESMINT).
