BRAINWeek invites you to submit abstracts for posters to be presented at the 2023 BRAINWeek National Conference. Please review the guidelines below.

Abstracts may be research oriented, or evidence based, and relevant to specialists and frontline practitioners who manage CNS disorders.

Abstract Guidelines

      1. At least one presenting author or presenter of accepted abstracts must register at the current registration rate to attend the BRAINWeek National Conference. Submission of an abstract does not automatically register you for the conference.
      2. BRAINWeek will accept abstracts that have already been presented at other medical conferences.
      3. Abstracts should be 750 words or less, with maximums as defined below. (Titles, author names, references, and affiliations are not included in that word count)

Poster Set-up

Authors should arrive onsite to have their posters up by 3:00p on Wednesday, September 6 (day 1 of the conference). BRAINWeek will provide a poster board, pushpins, and poster number. If you would like to provide reprints of your posters for handouts, you may leave them under your assigned poster board.
