You may add one guest when you register for the Full Conference (not available on One Day Registrations) when you get to the Account Summary page when you register.

Advanced Practice Provider Referral Discount

Physicians: Do you have an Advanced Practice Provider you would like to refer to attend the meeting?

If yes, when you register under the Full Conference Physician category, select that you’d like to participate in the referral initiative (located at the bottom of the Demographic Information page). A referral code will be generated that you can share upon completing your registration and also included in your confirmation email.

When you share this referral code (a maximum of four people can utilize the code) they will receive 50% off their registration fee! The referred attendee must register as a Full Conference Non-Physician and use the code to receive the discount.

Pre-Conference Courses & Fees

Attendees have the option to add a pre-conference course for an additional fee. Pre-conference courses are held on Thursday, January 22, 2026.

If you wish to only attend a pre-conference course and not the full conference, you have that option when registering. Select "Pre-Conference Only Registration" when selecting the registration category.

Invention, Investment, and Invigoration (I3) 2026: United for Growth

The neuromodulation industry continues to face challenges presented by cuts in government funding, loss of knowledgeable regulatory personnel, and faulty assessments from poorly informed and conflicted critics. But a new sense of unity among clinicians in varying specialties, professional organizations, and patient advocacy groups will continue to push forward to keep the field growing.

Advanced Engineering Principles in Neuromodulation: Next Generation SCS and DBS Technologies

This full-day preconference course provides a comprehensive exploration of the engineering principles underlying the development and implementation of next-generation spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and deep brain stimulation (DBS) technologies. The morning session features presentations by academic engineers on fundamental principles critical to innovation in neuromodulation, including implantable pulse generator design, electrode engineering, stimulation paradigms, neural sensing strategies, clinical testing methodologies, and AI integration. The afternoon session transitions to industry perspectives, with engineers from leading companies (Abbott, Biotronik, Boston Scientific, Medtronic, Nalu, Nevro, and Saluda Medical) showcasing technologies recently released or currently under development. This structure offers attendees an unprecedented opportunity to understand both the theoretical foundations and practical applications driving the field forward. Each half-day segment concludes with a dedicated faculty Q&A session, fostering direct interaction between experts and attendees. The course is designed for a diverse audience including neural engineers, clinicians implementing these therapies, industry professionals, and researchers interested in neuromodulation technology development. Participants will gain insights into the complex engineering considerations behind modern neuromodulation systems, emerging technologies on the horizon, and the technical challenges being addressed by both academic and industry innovators. By focusing specifically on recent innovations and technologies in active development, the course provides highly relevant knowledge that can be immediately applied to research initiatives and clinical decision-making in neuromodulation therapy.

Bridging the Gap: Neuromodulation as a Tool for Advanced Practice Providers

This course will provide advanced practice providers (APPs) with a comprehensive understanding of neuromodulation, including its various types, such as electrical and chemical therapies, and the underlying principles of how these techniques impact the nervous system. Participants will learn to identify the common neurological and pain conditions that benefit from neuromodulation, and the criteria for selecting appropriate patients. The session will also explore the APP's role in assessing patients, educating them, managing neuromodulation devices, and providing follow-up care in collaboration with specialists. Additionally, emerging trends in neuromodulation, such as personalized and minimally invasive approaches, will be discussed, as well as practical skills for educating and supporting patients throughout their neuromodulation treatment journey.

Deep Brain Stimulation Programming Strategies for Movement Disorders

Neuromodulation treatment for movement disorders has recently grown to include AI driven therapy optimization using novel device technology. With advancements in technology, there has been rapid increase in the necessary skills and understanding to effectively and adeptly employ that therapy for patient care. This course addresses the rapidly expanding need for advanced training in DBS programming to maximize patient clinical outcomes. This course uses both a didactic and hands-on skills workshop approach to increase participant proficiency in programming DBS systems.
