November 12 – 13, 2021 Annual Meeting IN PERSON
Registration Now Open: Register HERE.
Exhibit Reservations Now Being Accepted
The New York State Neurological Society is pleased to invite you to join us for our 2021 Annual Winter Meeting on November 13, 2021. This year, we are going to be back in person at the Stewart Hotel in Manhattan, 371 Seventh Avenue, New York, NY 10001.
Presentations will include updates on COVID long–term sequelae; health disparities in stroke, new dementia drugs, evidence–based integrative neurology; health care disparities and neuromyelitis optica; and more. Of course, the event would not be complete without our very popular Neurostakes Competition, which pits the cream of the various neurology residency programs against each other in team play answering neurological case “stumpers.” Our attendees enjoy cheering on their favorites, especially when they graduated from the same program!
Last year our virtual conference attracted over 200 plus participants. The target audience is neurologists, neurology residents, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, and medical students.
We look forward to having time in person with our friendly exhibitors and colleagues.
We are excited to offer a robust array of sponsor opportunities. To learn more, contact the Society at NYSNeurology@gmail.com
2021 Annual Meeting in the Rear View Mirror
We had a wonderful 2021 Annual Winter Meeting, our first hybrid event on November 13, with pre–conference activities on November 12.
The CME presentation on “Updates in Secondary Prevention of Ischemic Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack”, on Friday, November 12 with Doctor Stephan Mayer was very successful. For those who missed the live stream, we will be making the recording link available within the next week.
The Women in Neurology Virtual Reception at 7:00 p.m. on November 12 was a great event! Our neurologists enjoyed a chance to zoom in small groups and discuss issues important to everyone in the specialty. Look for more activities from our Women in Neurology Group in future, says Doctor Melissa Rayhill, Women Neurologists Committee Chair.
Our great speaker list made the day. Doctors enjoyed Ilya Kister, MD, on NOSD and MOGAD; Allison Navis, MD, on long–COVID; and Olajide Williams, MD on racial disparities in stroke.
AAN President–Elect Carlayne Jackson, MD gave the Janice Wiesman, MD, Memorial Lecture, “Addressing the Gender Gap in Neurology Amid the COVID–19 Pandemic.”
We heard from Jason A. Cohen, MD on Aducanumab; from Doctor Joshua J. Weaver, MD on Integrative Medicine; from David Hojnacki, MD, on Neuroimaging Updates; and from Nicholas Silvestri, MD on Neurological Ailments of US Presidents.
If you attended live or virtual, make sure you return your claim for credit and evaluation forms.

It is no surprise that NYSNS, in the face of the uncertainties of the COVID–19 pandemic, has converted this event to a virtual meeting with a virtual exhibit hall. As much as everyone enjoys meeting in person, virtual has some advantages. We plan to record presentations and apply for enduring status for CME, which gives physicians more options for attending beyond the actual day.
The program will be open to more physicians, as we will be advertising regionally and beyond in partnership with the American Academy of Neurology, removing travel constraints for participants. Our virtual exhibit hall will extend beyond the meeting itself, giving sponsors the opportunity to keep engagement going. And just because we are virtual does not mean that we can’t set up networking opportunities throughout the event. We have also lowered our sponsorship levels from last year to account for the absence of in–person interactions.
The 2020 Annual Winter Meeting has a number of topical programs confirmed: Headache Management; Neurological Issues/Complications in Pregnancy; Workplace Issues (Burnout/ Gender Equity); Update in Neuro–Oncology; Functional Movement Disorders; Concussion/TBI Management; Diversity in Neurology/Transgender Issues; NM Ultrasound; and a special COVID–19 Panel with three chairs of neurology departments in the New York City area. Our great roster of in–state and out–of–state speakers include Alison Pack, MD; Elizabeth Loder, MD; Yasmin Khakoo, MD; Kathrin LaFaver, MD; James Noble, MD; Jason Sico, MD; Steve Herskovitz, MD, and more. The target audience is neurologists, neurology residents, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, and medical students.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is designed for general neurologists. Other healthcare professionals, including physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, and pharmacists, who treat patients with headache may also benefit from participation in the educational activity. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
Paradigm shift, or shattered? The thinking around both preventive and acute treatment of migraine is amidst a radical change. From a new class of treatment targeting disease-specific pathophysiology to emerging therapies incorporating neuromodulatory devices, practicing clinicians will get up to speed on key treatment advances transforming migraine care. A case series will demonstrate how new information can be placed into practice.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
1. Describe new advances in the pathophysiology of migraine, a chronic neurologic disease.
2. Develop treatment plans in line with standards of practice for acute and preventive management of episodic and chronic migraine.
3. Discuss unmet patient needs and burden of episodic and chronic migraine.
4. Analyze safety and efficacy data for emerging therapies in acute and preventive treatment of migraine relative to current standards and clinically meaningful outcomes.
