The Academy covers all travel, lodging, and meal expenses for all speakers in this program. As a society, it is not essential to provide honoraria for a speaker; however, most societies pay hosted speakers the same amount as all other speakers at its meeting ($250–$1,000). Most often speakers are committee members, guideline authors, or issue experts. Occasionally staff speakers will be invited to speak. The speaker must be a representative of the AAN. Please note that we are not able to accommodate every request, but chances of securing a speaker increase the further in advance one is requested. Contact Grant Niver at
