The 2025 CNS Annual Meeting: CNS Connects, is the premier neurosurgical conference focused on fostering meaningful connections in an increasingly complex and diverse field. Positioned at the intersection of innovation and tradition, this event celebrates the diversity of neurosurgeons—across different practices, geographies, and approaches—while reigniting the core values of humanism and compassion in medicine.
