Questions people ask
5 answeredThe symposium starts on December 3, 2026.
The 2026 symposium is at The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The intended audience includes clinicians and other health professionals who treat headache, including general practitioners, neurologists, nurses, and allied health professionals.
It is most useful for clinicians who regularly treat headache, from neurologists and primary care physicians to nurse practitioners and physical therapists, since the four-day program mixes didactic, case-based and panel formats and has run since 1970. The faculty includes Peter J. Goadsby and other American Headache Society fellows, which gives it clinical depth; clinicians who see headache only rarely, or who want a short local update, would get less from a four-day resort meeting.
At a Scottsdale resort in December, days are mild but session rooms run cool, so a light jacket or layer helps.
