Sponsorship Opportunities

The Epilepsy Foundation of San Diego County is proud to announce its Annual Epilepsy Education Conference, returning to the beautiful Academy of Our Lady of Peace campus on Saturday, July 26, 2025.

This year’s theme, Cutting-Edge Therapies: Transforming Epilepsy Care, highlights the latest advancements that are reshaping how we understand and treat epilepsy today. From breakthrough medications and surgical innovations to genetic insights and dietary interventions, the conference will explore the full spectrum of modern epilepsy care.

Through expert-led panels and compelling stories from individuals with lived experience, attendees will gain a comprehensive view of how science, technology, and patient-centered approaches are coming together to improve outcomes and enhance quality of life for those living with epilepsy.

Whether you’re a healthcare provider, researcher, caregiver, or a person with epilepsy, this conference offers valuable insights and opportunities for meaningful connection.

Attendees will also have the chance to engage with our dedicated sponsor community in the Sponsor Marketplace, where they can learn about the latest advancements and resources available from leading companies in the field.

This highly anticipated event is promoted throughout San Diego County via our email network of over 5,000 contacts, social media channels, print advertising, and local news outlets. Join us for a day of education, empowerment, and community.
