The meeting will begin with a round table discussion to set the tone and discussion of the core thematic questions for the meeting.

Sessions will contain a combination of talks and interactive discussion periods, each lasting either 90 or 120 minutes.

The detailed format will be 2-3 invited talks, followed by 2-3 assigned short challenges by young investigators, and then ~20 minutes of discussion. The short challenges will be 2-slide presentations given by the young investigators and aimed at initiating discussion on the meeting themes.

The structured portion of the meeting will end with a final organized discussion/debate about the future efforts of the International Seizure Prediction Group (ISPG). The objective of this discussion will be to articulate a set of targets, and metrics for reaching those targets for the group’s future success.
