Speakers (and topics) Announced for Free Online Migraine Conference!

The line-up of speakers has been announced for the upcoming free online conference – the Migraine World Summit. And it is certainly an unparalleled line-up!

Not only are some of the foremost experts speaking, we’re also getting more speakers from outside of the USA, particularly from Europe – and I imagine that will continue in the years ahead, as the reputation of the summit grows worldwide.

For example, from Italy we have Dr. Pierangelo Geppetti. From Spain, Dr. Patricia Pozo Rosich. From Estonia, Dr. Mark Braschinsky. From Canada, Dr. Christine Lay. From Greece, Dimos-Dimitrios Mitsikostas.

And, of course, some excellent speakers from the USA, such as Dr. David Dodick from the Mayo Clinic, Dr. Eric Baron from the Cleveland Clinic, and Dr. Christopher H. Gottschalk from the Yale School of Medicine.

I’ll let you check up the line-up for yourself – just go here and click on “speakers”. But I do want to highlight a few of the exciting topics that have been announced!

• The Latest on Medical Marijuana for Migraine – of course, everyone’s talking about it, but the research is advancing so quickly it’s hard to keep up. This from Dr. Eric Baron of the Cleveland Clinic.
• Treating Attacks: Real Patient Case Studies – It’s so helpful to hear about how real people are fighting migraine, and Rashmi Halker from the Mayo Clinic will give us a few useful stories.
• Clinical Errors that Undermine Migraine Care – you may know it from experience, but the health care world is far from perfect. What are common problems, and what can we do about it? I’m looking forward to hearing from Zaza Katsarava of the University of Essen, Germany.
• Beware: CGRP Access Challenges Ahead – we’ve all heard about these new treatments. But what if they’re not available in my area, or too expensive? Practical information from Kevin Lenaburg of the Coalition of Headache And Migraine Patients (CHAMP).
• Hope for Refractory Chronic Migraine – “refractory” means migraine that is very hard to treat – you know who you are. You’ve tried 20 treatments and nothing has worked. Is there hope? Where do we go from here? This from Dr. Paolo Martelletti, Sapienza University of Rome.
• Treatment Spotlight: Drug-Free Devices – Dr. Amaal Starling of the Mayo Clinic will get us up to date on the growing number of well-researched options for treating migraine that don’t involve more pills or injections.
• Understanding Your Workplace Rights – Stacey Worthy JD knows the law in the USA, and I’m sure will be answering questions that many of you have in the workplace.
• Treating Each Phase of a Migraine Attack – you mean there’s more to it than just taking a painkiller? You bet! Find better ways to treat your migraine attack listening to Dr. Antoinette Maassen van den Brink.

That’s only a few of the topics and speakers – wow! If you don’t have your ticket yet, get it here. It’s free – and it sends a message that we’re serious about fighting migraine and raising awareness.

Have your family and friends get tickets as well. We need to make this the biggest year yet – so that the fight against migraine will not be ignored!
