About
We are delighted to inform you that the 21st biennial Migraine Trust International Symposium will be held in 2026 in Scottish Exhibition Campus (SEC) on the banks of the river Clyde in Glasgow.
We would be very glad to see you there in person. We will also continue to offer virtual content to maximise our impact and dissemination.
First held in 1976, MTIS is the world’s longest established headache conference. We are proud and humbled that the event continues to be held in high esteem by our peers worldwide.
MTIS and the associated Patient Day aims to ensure clinicians and scientists interested in headaches can join our most important stakeholder: headache patients, particularly with migraines, and those who care for them to share new information and experiences. The latest understanding of headache biology, novel treatments and information on the impacts of migraine affects all attendees.
Together, we will share new information and lived experiences. The latest insights into headache biology, emerging treatments, and the real-world impacts of migraine will be relevant and valuable for everyone attending.
We are planning an outstanding scientific programme, including teaching courses for both primary and secondary care. We invite industry partners to support these courses and help maximise their reach and impact.
Poster presentations are a key part of the symposium, giving clinicians, researchers, and practitioners the opportunity to showcase their latest work by submitting abstracts for poster display.
A Patient Day will take place on the final afternoon, featuring clear, accessible summaries of the latest research and key messages from the scientific sessions, presented in a way that is meaningful for patients. For the first time, we are offering sponsors the opportunity to demonstrate your organisation’s commitment to improving the lives of people affected by migraine by supporting this public session.
Satellite sessions will feature in the main programme, giving industry a dedicated, high-visibility platform to showcase new and exciting therapies, with no competing sessions running in parallel. We warmly invite you to book a session and share your latest findings and developments with our international audience.
Renowned for its dynamic, industrial and cultural past, Glasgow offers not only a compelling backdrop for international delegates but also the infrastructure, expertise and connectivity needed to support a landmark event such as MTIS.
We are looking forward to welcoming you to Glasgow for another great meeting.
