The PAME Conference is the partnership’s flagship event and occurs in advance of the Annual AES meeting each year. PAME partners play an important role in the planning and dissemination of conference proceedings to patients, families, researchers, clinicians, and others. PAME meetings are scientifically rigorous and informed by the experiences of people impacted and bereaved by epilepsy. They are cross-sectoral in nature and include updates and discussions on the latest basic and clinical research, as well as directions in awareness and education. While SUDEP remains a thrust of the conference, other causes of mortality continue to be elevated. PAME maintains a special focus on younger investigators and highlights their work through a competitive abstract selection process.
