CNS encourages sessions that represent the full breadth of CNS membership—spanning basic science, clinical practice, and public health—ideally integrating perspectives across more than one domain. Sessions should also reflect CNS’s ongoing commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion in both topic and speaker composition. Potential speakers and their perspectives should be identified, with each speaker dedicating a minimum of 20% of their presentation to practical application or applied content.

Speakers will be formally invited by CNS.

NOTE: All CNS Conference Speakers and Chairs are required to complete a Confidentiality and Conflict of Interest (COI)/Disclosure Statement and include a slide with this information at the start of the session/talk. This is an important step in our goal to be transparent in all CNS activities, and to remain a credible and respected organization. Further, each speaker will be asked to thoroughly present their disclosure statement at the start of each presentation.
