Welcome Address
The Neuropsychiatry Department – Faculty of Medicine, Alexandria University held last week its 13th Annual Conference during the period 24 – 26 Feb. 2021 in collaboration with the Egyptian Society of Neurology, Psychiatry and Neurosurgery – ESNPN & The Egyptian Psychiatric Association.
The hybrid conference has been designed to provide an innovative and comprehensive overview of the latest research developments in neurology and psychiatry primarily in the areas of stroke, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, movement disorders, headache, neuromuscular disorders, neurocritical care. In addition, to the updates on the effect of pregnancy and various other general medical disorders on the neurological diseases.
With the genuine feedback received from our past series of neurology conferences, this year we tried to organize it in the best way to meet the highest point of conference quality standards - Keynote lectures | Speaker sessions | Video Presentations and many more”.
We had a very comprehensive scientific program. All the attendees who joined the whole 3 days sessions were able to share their views/presentations and express their queries about the given presentations at the end without any hesitation. With total number of 33 sessions, 81 key notes and 4 workshops, the conference was able to provide a plethora of invaluable science & knowledge.
Our main focus on increasing the number of attendees from various streams of related neuroscience fields was to make it interdisciplinary. We succeeded to gather 15 international speakers, 645 physical attendees, 738 virtual attendees joining from +28 countries from Europe, USA, Africa, Asia & Gulf.
To add to its promise, the scientific program was accredited from the (ARC) – The American Association of Continuing Medical Education for 38.50 Hours. The variety of prospective audience includes: figures of academic excellence, interested industrialists, students, exhibitors and eminent faces from all around the world. All these factors combined and several more made the ANC 2021 a “must attend” Hybrid conference.
I would like to thank ICOM Group team for their continuous collaboration, hard work and attentiveness during the conference days.
See you all in the ANC 2022.
