ICNC2020 is going virtual
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted on many of our lives and practices. The demands on health care have inevitably drawn our focus away from child neurology and child health in general. The ramification of the disruption to child health will be seen for years to come. Early intervention programs have become disrupted (e.g. measles vaccination, hearing screens), delayed presentation of children with neurological diseases and interruption of standard care for many of our patients, to name a few of the consequences of this pandemic. The impact on health care facilities and the staff within, cannot be measured in numbers alone.
Out of this awful situation, as clinicians, we need to explore optimal ways to support our patients, their carers and the colleagues with whom we work and collaborate. The pandemic has pushed us to innovate new ways to rise above the obstructions it has created.
Many of us have had to re-educate our ability to communicate via social media, we have had to re-organize our service structures, and help families make the decisions about balancing life activities vitally needed for their children but still maintaining social distancing. Without training, education and research we will stagnate and fail to evolve to offer optimal care for our patients.
The biannual ICNA congresses, and the education programs coordinated through the ICNA, are a vital part of this education. Enabling clinicians to present and debate their research and best care practices at an international level is essential to maintain a global approach to health care. Together we are stronger. Following on from this, the CNS/ICNC working group led by Jonathan Mink, Roger Larson and Philip Pearl have been endeavoring to construct the best congress to address the needs of child neurologists. After significant consideration, the decision has been made for the meeting to be fully virtual.
Whilst we were looking forward to seeing colleagues face to face, and traveling to San Diego, this clearly is not possible in the current times. However, as with many recent events this is an incredibly exciting opportunity. I am so pleased that the CNS were awarded the 16th ICNC as I cannot imagine a more innovative group who will mold the current high quality congress format into a virtual meeting. Based on the superb range and depth of presentations from the plenaries, to the symposia, the platform presentations and the posters, as well as the opportunities for the Special Interest Groups to meet and consolidate future initiatives, the congress itself could not be cancelled or even deferred.
The ICNA will support CNS using all of its resources to ensure that the 16th virtual ICNC meets all participant expectations and that the experience of those attending the virtual congress leaves them replete and inspired by the knowledge gained.
With my respect to the CNS team, ICNA is looking forward to supporting you in this next adventure.
Stay safe ICNA colleagues and wear your masks!

Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are communities within ICNA including National & Regional societies composed of members with a shared interest in advancing a specific area of knowledge or learning in their field. The SIGs communicate during the year via the Forum Community or face-to-face at the biennial International Child Neurology Congresses. Please submit your interest by filling in the details below.
SIG membership is only open to ICNA members. If you’re not an ICNA member, you can join online here. There is no membership type requirement for being in a SIG. There are several Special Interest Groups currently establised under the ICNA.
You may start a new Special Interest Group if you wish. While the ICNA is not prescriptive about the subject area of any special interest group it should be broadly aligned with ICNA strategy and all new Special Interest Group requests will have to be approved by the ICNA Board. While ICNA and ICNApedia can provide overall guidance on the governance and membership recruitment and reasonable administrative support, the general administration and constituent relationship management will be the responsbility of the individual SIG leaders. You can request a new group by applying here . Further information on SIGs are available on the Forum Pages.
