Details: What Mattered Most: 2026 Summit Debrief + Live Q&A
The 2026 Migraine World Summit brought together dozens of leading experts to share the latest research, clinical insights, and practical strategies for managing migraine.
Now that the week is over, Carl and Elizabeth are bringing you a live session to do something the Summit itself could not: slow down, step back, and identify what matters most.
This is not a replay. It is a guided reflection on the biggest themes and most surprising insights from this year’s expert interviews, so you can process what you heard and decide what to apply to your own situation.

✔ The most consistent themes across clinicians, researchers, and specialists
✔ Surprising insights that challenged conventional thinking about triggers, treatment, and the migraine brain
✔ Questions the community raised most during the event, and what the experts said
✔ What people found most helpful and which interviews stood out
We’ll also set aside significant time for live Q&A. If you missed sessions, felt overwhelmed by the volume of information, or want help figuring out where to focus, this is your chance to ask Carl and Elizabeth directly.
