Two of the most important headache societies, the International Headache Society (IHS) and the European Headache Federation (EHF) will unite for a joint International Headache Congress 2021, scheduled from 8–12 September in Berlin, Germany.

To combine the advantages of both worlds we decided to go for a hybrid version of the congress, the World Federation of Neurology announced.

What does "hybrid" mean?

It means, there will be some participants, speakers, chairs and industrial partners onsite in Berlin with the opportunity for other participants to join the event online in real-time or on demand, expanding the field of participants.

You are very welcome to check our official congress website for further information:  headache-congress.org 

Programme

Make sure to take a look at the versatile preliminary programme on the main topic “Headache science to optimise patient care”. The Scientific Programme Committee worked hard to compile a programme on current issues and found a good balance between young and renowned speakers, who are all experts in the field of headache science.
