The 2023 SCN2A Family & Professional Conference is co-hosted by The FamilieSCN2A Foundation and The Rosamund Stone Zander Translational Neuroscience Center of Boston Children’s Hospital. This conference provides a unique opportunity for SCN2A families & professionals to come together and learn about SCN2A-related topics.

The Inhibition in the CNS GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.

The 19th Advanced San Servolo Epilepsy Course is primarily targeted at neuropediatricians, neurophysiologists, neuropsychiatrists and neuroscientists interested in the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of pediatric epilepsies. The course is focused on the pathophysiology, the diagnosis and the management of epilepsies of childhood and infancy. Objectives of the course are to understand i) the types, etiology and pathophysiology of epilepsies in children and adolescence, with a particular focus on early onset epilepsies, ii) the pathogenesis of the related comorbidities, iii) the current treatment options, iv) the clinical research methodology applicable to study early onset epilepsies, v) the unresolved critical issues related to the diagnosis and treatment of these forms.

The conference itself (educational sessions) is 1.5 days long; it begins on Saturday morning and concludes on Sunday afternoon. There is also a welcome reception planned for Friday evening before the conference begins. All educational sessions will take place in the same room with back-to-back speakers followed by Q & A panels; this way, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions. Breakfast and lunch is included on both days and a dinner for attendees on Saturday night is provided as well.
