The annual congress is the most important event of our Society. This year European and International Neurologists are invited to attend the third EAN congress in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, June 24-27. Literally hundreds of EAN-members are involved to in the preparation of this congress. I wanted to explain to our members how the congress programme is developed. In its third year of existence of the Society, some of the preparation has come to routine but most of the tasks are highly challenging year after year as one of the aims of the Society is to have new innovations every year.

The 2nd congress of the EAN took place May 28-31, 2016 at the Bella Conference Center in Copenhagen. We had 5500 attendees who took part in 40 Symposia, focused workshops and special sessions. Among the many highlights were the outstanding presentations by the awardees of the Romberg, Golgi and Brown-Séquard lectures during the presidents plenary and the last-minute session on the ‘epidemiology, clinical presentations and immunology of Zika-Virus induced neurological diseases’ (This session can be viewed on the members-only part of the EAN-website). More than 4500 participants attended the 40 educational events with many new innovations like case-based facilitated workshops, more hands-on courses and career-development sessions. More than 1500 abstracts were presented in 28 oral and 117 electronic poster sessions.
