AES 2025 Abstract Submission has Closed

As the nation’s largest educational and scientific event for epilepsy professionals, the AES Annual Meeting is an ideal venue for clinicians and scientists to present research results to a global audience.

Authors will have the opportunity to present their research live in Atlanta and upload an ePoster to the virtual poster gallery for attendees to view for up to 90 days after the meeting.

Late-breaking abstract submission opens at the end of July.
