 An unanticipated outcome of the Covid-19 pandemic has been the unprecedented rise of virtual neurosurgery education. These free virtual conferences are a boon for all neurosurgeons, trainees, and students alike. One of the most important aspects is their open-access and collaborative nature. Below is a list of some of the most popular virtual conferences, many of which have grown to hundreds of participants in a few short weeks. Set your calendars for this week's exceptional lineup. This is not intended to be a comprehensive list of every virtual neurosurgery meeting; rather it serves as a sampling of the wide diversity of conferences. If you would like to suggest an addition please contact submission@brainandspinegroup.org.
