About the Conference
This multi-disciplinary conference brings together leading international experts, from a range of backgrounds including neurology, physiology, psychiatry, psychology and ethics. The conference is suitable for anyone wanting to improve their clinical skills in this area as well as those with a research interest in this fascinating and evolving topic.

Functional disorders are the second commonest reason for a referral to a neurologist. The International Conference covers all functional neurological disorders, adding sessions on symptoms such as dizziness, speech and cognitive symptoms. The inaugural functional movement disorder meeting took place in 2004, with meetings to follow in 2009 and 2017, with supplemental standalone meetings on non-epileptic seizures.

I'm guessing that this was originally cancelled due to Covid because they are now holding the "4th International Conference on Functional Neurological Disorders" on June 19-21, 2022.

Their "tentative" program can be found here, https://www.fndsociety.org/biennial-meeting/2022/program, featuring such delightful selected topics as;
  • FND in Children and Young People
  • Havana Syndrome
  • Functional Cognitive Disorder and Long Haul COVID
  • FND and Vaccinations: Understanding Cause and Effect
  • Impact of Adverse Childhood Events
  • How Early Life Experiences Modulate the Development of Functional Brain Circuits
  • FND – A Core Neuropsychiatric Condition
  • Treatment of Children and Young People with FND
  • Beyond CODES: Psychotherapy for Functional Seizures (one for @dave30th to attend perhaps?)
  • How do we Better Educate the Next Generation in FND and Clinical Neuroscience Overall?
  • Health Anxiety, Somatic Symptoms & FND – Points of Intersection?
 
It would be great to bring this to the attention of long haulers, since they will be covering LC as conversion disorder. Seems to be the same idea with vaccine reactions, especially problematic considering how much more serious it is for pwLC and pwME. They have to know about these things and the people behind this, they can bring so much more attention to this than we ever could.

Also: the NIH is a sponsor. Because of course.
