What can attendees look forward to at the AAN 2023 Annual Meeting?
The AAN has always been one of my favorite meetings to go to. I've been going pretty regularly for the last 20 years or so. I think people correctly think about it as being the premier place to go for cutting-edge research and hearing about what's hot off the press in neurology, which is correct.
They also have amazing educational programs, so that's been one of the things that I've really enjoyed going to. I work in a specialized field, so it's an opportunity to learn about things that I don't see every day. And the quality of the programming for education is really, really high.
I think also there's still a little bit of pent-up postpandemic need to get together and see people. So, it's always fun, at an in-person meeting, to just run across somebody in the hallway you haven't seen for a couple of years, meet up with people who are working in a similar area, and identify people who are potential collaborators and researchers in the future.
I always leave and have a mix of being humbled about everything that's happening that I'm not doing and inspired by a lot of new ideas.
