The Epilepsy Education & Empowerment Conference is a one-day event designed to bring together healthcare professionals, individuals living with epilepsy, caregivers, and community members for a shared learning experience. Through expert-led sessions and real-life perspectives, attendees will gain practical insights on navigating a new diagnosis, understanding treatment options, including surgical care, and knowing their rights in school and the workplace. This conference is built to provide clear, meaningful information that supports better outcomes and everyday confidence.

Beyond education, this event creates space for connection and community. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with others who understand the epilepsy journey, explore valuable resources, and build supportive relationships. The day will conclude with a hands-on Seizure Recognition & First Aid Training, ensuring participants leave not only informed, but prepared to take action when it matters most. Hosted in partnership with the Epilepsy Foundation, this conference is a step forward in improving lives through awareness, education, and support.

This event will take place at the Piscataway YMCA
