New for 2025, the Neurocritical Care Society (NCS) is pleased to announce a Call for Hands-On Workshops for the 23rd Annual Meeting, open now through Tuesday, February 25, 2025, at 11:59 PM Central Time.
About Hands-On Workshops
Workshops provide hands-on learning opportunities for attendees to learn from experts and increase their practical knowledge. Proposals should specify the hands-on learning and experience attendees will gain from attending the workshop. Full completion of the proposal form is required for consideration. Two (2) final workshops may be selected at the discretion of the NCS Conference Chair and the NCS Workshop Chair. The Annual Meeting Committee reserves the right to make minor modifications to submissions.
Please the submission instructions, guidelines, and subsequent sections on this page before beginning your submission. Decision notifications will be released in late March.
Visit the submission portal and select the education track that is best aligned with your content to begin. NCS membership is not required to submit; however, we encourage all speakers to join NCS as a member and we will give preferential speaking spots to our NCS members.
