Annual Epilepsy Awareness Day 2026

The event is held at Disneyland in Anaheim, California.

The organizer identifies people with epilepsy, families, patients, and epilepsy physicians as attendees.

It is most useful for people living with epilepsy and their families, since the event is built around education and advocacy and brings epilepsy physicians and patients into the same setting. Researchers or clinicians wanting a dense scientific program will likely get less from it than from a dedicated medical society meeting, because the stated aim is teaching patients and families to advocate for themselves.

Attendees at an event held inside Disneyland usually dress casually, with comfortable walking shoes, light layers and sun protection, and physicians typically come in smart casual rather than formal clothes.
