CNS 2026: Specialized Track for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery and New ASSFN Reception

The 2026 Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) Annual Meeting heads to Washington, D.C., October 31–November 4, with exceptional programming for ASSFN members. In addition to a dedicated Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery track, the CNS is debuting an ASSFN and Joint Section on Pain Reception on Monday, November 2, from 6:00–7:00 PM, immediately following the day’s final session.
Drinks and hors d’oeuvres will be served, and the event is free and open to all meeting attendees — no separate registration required. This is the first year the CNS has carved out dedicated space for subspecialty sections to gather. So come catch up with old colleagues, meet new ones, and help make it a success!
Learn more and register for the meeting.
We hope to see you there!
