On behalf of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons Executive Committee, the Scientific Program Committee, and the 2015 CNS Honored Guest Dr. Kim J. Burchiel, I invite you to attend this year’s CNS Annual Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana, September 26–30, 2015. Our meeting theme, “Mentorship: Service, Education, Progress,” highlights the rich tradition of mentorship within our specialty and celebrates Walter E. Dandy, one of the great mentors and founding fathers of neurosurgery. The scientific program for this year is sure to provoke discussion. We’ll continue to explore controversial and hot-button issues and present the most cutting-edge procedures, approaches, and technologies in the field. Hot Topics highlights include liquid biopsy, laser interstitial thermal therapy for epilepsy (LITT), and cost pressure budgeting under Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). Controversy debates center on clinical decisions such as the optimal management of single brain metastases and spinal cord stimulation versus re-do surgery for chronic pain. We’re also putting you back in the center of the operating room for three challenging live surgical cases via Telemedicine Technology. Other highlights include an outstanding lineup of provocative speakers, including former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, national commentator Juan Williams, and legendary jazz musician Herbie Hancock. The CNS Annual Meeting is an unparalleled opportunity for scientific exchange and relationship building with thousands of your colleagues from around the world. We are proud to welcome our 2015 international partner organization, the Turkish Neurosurgical Society. We will hear from Professor Yücel Yilmaz, President Emeritus of Kadir Has University in Istanbul, about “Troy, Cradle of Western Civilization.” We will also recognize the formative Turkish neurosurgeon, Dr. M. Gazi Yaşargil, in a tribute 3-D Neurosurgery Session. It is my great honor and personal pleasure to invite you to join me in this great American city, New Orleans, for the 2015 CNS Annual Meeting. I look forward to seeing you there. Sincerely, Nathan R. Selden, MD, PhD CNS President
