To all Conference attendees:
The Pain Mechanisms and Therapeutics Conference will not take place as planned in 2020.
The safety and security of our colleagues is our paramount concern. Given the current coronavirus situation, we think that the most prudent decision to ensure safety is to postpone our conference by one year, with tentative dates of June 6-11, 2021.
We propose to keep all Conference registrations and the Scientific Program intact. Although we are proposing that everyone's registration and the scientific program be kept in their present states, refunds will always be available without any deadlines [please note that if you request a refund you will receive the registration fee minus the Paypal fee, which they no longer return].
Please download the Notice of Conference Postponement here if you need a document to initiate a refund process with airlines, hotels, and insurance companies.
This webpage will always have the latest information so please check it regularly to learn the current status of the Conference. We will, of course, notify you of any developments.

The scientific program is now full...
Welcome to the Pain Mechanisms and Therapeutics Conference, which is designed to bring together students, fellows, researchers, and clinicians interested in all aspects of pain and analgesia research and therapeutics. In addition to presenting and hearing the latest data in the formal sessions and Data Blitzes, participants benefit from informal interactions throughout the meeting, which will be held every two years in a location that facilitates friendly interactions and future collaborations. An important point to remember is that this is not a sponsored meeting, so that all attendees will be responsible for registration and expenses. However, we are hoping that the science and the location will be sufficient to make this a meeting that you cannot afford to miss.
You are invited! This is an entirely open meeting and all scientific sessions are suggested by the participants. Please let us know via the "Contact Us" page if would like to suggest a session topic or join an existing session. Space is limited so we may not be able to accommodate all suggestions.
Please note that the Data Blitzes work very well, and are for everyone, not just junior investigators. Anyone can attend and present data in these well-attended and fast-paced sessions, so you do not need to be in a formally organized session to present your data.
This is an open, informal, friendly meeting with few rules; the only primary goals are: 1) to stay strictly on time, and; 2) to have the highest-quality sessions.
If you would like to give a Data Blitz talk, please let us know via the "Contact Us" page, giving your name, affiliation, and talk title. You will then be contacted.
All the best, and we hope you can join us,
