Empowering Epilepsy
Educational Conference Series

About Our Conferences

Empowering Epilepsy holds 3 Educational Conferences throughout the year to better educate people with epilepsy and their loved ones about their diagnosis and treatment plan.

 

Speakers include some of the top epilepsy specialists in the country to help us learn more about epilepsy and seizures. Conference participants learn realistic strategies on how to better manage their seizures and medication side effects, and take charge of their lives.

Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) refers to the unexplained death of an otherwise healthy individual with epilepsy, with no identifiable cause such as an accident, illness, injury, or drowning.
