This year at the Vestibular Virtual Summit, we are excited to announce that we are talking about some very hot topics. Dr. Emily and Dr. Madison get seemingly endless questions about trauma, mold, Lyme, diet, genetics, hormones and more. We are excited to be the first to tailor and bring this information to the vestibular community at the inaugural Vestibular Virtual Summit! This year's summit features 10 speakers over a 2 day event. Day 1 covers mold (5 speakers) and day 2 covers other inflammatory conditions & why they may affect you. These are topics never talked about in the vestibular world, and we cannot wait to bring it to you directly! Sign up ASAP during the presale, August 5-18, 2024! Sign up for the Summit here!
