THE PREMIER EVENT FOR THE LATEST
RESEARCH ON SPORTS CONCUSSION
Sports concussion is a major issue in the world of health
care and staying up-to-date on the absolute latest research
on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of concussion
is critical for any neurology professional. As such, you won’t
want to miss The Sports Concussion Conference, brought to
you by the world’s leading authority on sports concussion:
the American Academy of Neurology (AAN).
Planned for July 11-13, 2014, at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel
& Towers in Chicago, this truly one-of-a-kind opportunity
offers a chance to learn the very latest scientific advances
in the world of sports concussion, earn 14 continuing
medical education credits in one weekend, and arm
yourself with the knowledge necessary to:
•• Apply the latest advances in the diagnosis and treatment of sports concussion
•• Understand post-concussion syndrome, including neurocognitive testing
•• Apply your skills to the professional, collegiate, or high school arenas
•• Better understand related controversies, second impact syndrome, and more
Because The Sports Concussion Conference is hosted by the AAN, it’s also the ideal destination
for face-to-face networking with your peers and a unique chance to get answers to your most
pressing questions related to sports concussion from world-class panelists.
Visit AAN.com/view/ConcussionConference for more information on abstract submission. The
deadline is May 12.
The early registration deadline is June 9, 2014, so I encourage you to register today at

I look forward to seeing you in Chicago in July!
Sincerely,
Jeffrey S. Kutcher, MD
