You will network with – and hear from – thousands of the world’s leading experts on pain as they share their thoughts, research and findings on this critical topic.

  • basic scientists
  • physicians
  • psychologists
  • dentists
  • nurses
  • physical therapists
  • pharmacists
  • professors
  • researchers

Our learning objectives are to:

  • provide practical reviews of current research and therapies in these areas
  • enable delegates to participate in formal and informal discussions with international experts on pain management and pain research, so they can incorporate those views into their practices
