During this conference, participants will learn about the latest research on clinical, neuropsychological, neuroimaging and neuropathological manifestations of the concussion spectrum of disorders. This includes acute concussion, post-concussion syndrome (PCS) and neurodegeneration, including chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). In addition, we will have an update on research in concussion in women and girls.

A poster session will be held during breaks and lunchtime.

Prior to the conference, in the afternoon on Friday November 1, there will be an additional scientific meeting at the Krembil Brain Institute followed by a public forum in the evening titled: Concussion and Mental Health.
