Congress

The International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE) is planning some exciting activities at the 13th Latin American Epilepsy Congress in collaboration with ILAE, which takes place from 15th to 18th June 2024 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. We’re very excited about the upcoming Latin American Epilepsy Congress and have been working hard to plan some focused activities for people affected by epilepsy and IBE Chapters in the region. IBE will be well-represented at the congress by Dr Alicia Bogacz from Uruguay, our Vice-President for the Latin American Region. There will be a strong presence from the local IBE chapter, Sociedad Dominicana Unidos Por La Epilepsia (SODOUE), as well as representatives from many other chapters travelling from all over the Latin American region. Our new Engagement Officer, Eli Cripps, is looking forward to connecting with our community in Latin America, and IBE’s Vice-President for the European Region, Elvira Vacas Montero, is eager to strengthen ties between the two regions. We are also thrilled that delegates from our Community Council will be joining us in Santo Domingo, as well as members of the Latin American Youth Team, and 2024’s Golden Light Award Winners.
