The AEC has always been more than just a conference — it is a vibrant platform where science meets community. In 2025, we are committed to making this the premier event for anyone passionate about epilepsy, a neurological disorder increasingly recognized as a "health priority" in alignment with the WHO Resolution on IGAP. Together, we will explore groundbreaking advancements in both basic and clinical epileptology, address key social issues related to epilepsy, and strengthen the bonds among researchers, clinicians, caregivers, and healthcare practitioners from across the African continent.

The 2025 programme promises to be dynamic and impactful, featuring innovative sessions, including a dedicated teaching day on Epilepsy Training in Adult Medicine (ETAM), and a forward-thinking workshop on Artificial Intelligence in healthcare. These initiatives reflect our commitment to advancing knowledge, fostering collaboration, and creating deeper understanding within the epilepsy community.

We look forward to welcoming you to Lusaka, the "Garden City," where meaningful discussions, learning opportunities, and the warmth of shared experiences will await.

The deadline for abstract submissions is Friday, 31 January 2025.
