Connect, Celebrate, and Build What’s Next

We’re heading to Washington, DC, for CNS 2026—and we can’t wait to connect with our members!

Join ASBN for an exciting lineup of events bringing together students, trainees, neurosurgeons, and our broader community. From mentorship and networking to community outreach, there will be opportunities to reconnect with colleagues, meet new faces, and advance our mission together.

This year is especially meaningful as ASBN celebrates five years of building community and creating opportunities in neurosurgery. We’re excited to celebrate this milestone with you—and we have special surprises planned for our members!
