ABOUT
The Migraine Masterclass is an initiative of the Migraine World Summit.
At the Migraine World Summit, each year dozens of leading migraine experts, doctors and specialists from around the world are interviewed to help answer the most difficult questions for those with migraine in desperate need of relief.
The online Migraine World Summit is an annual event held in March each year. It is a socially driven event that partners with and supports nonprofits. Up to 50% of funds raised from the Migraine World Summit go towards our migraine nonprofit partners listed on the homepage, who are doing wonderful work to help fund migraine research, support patients and advocate for migraine sufferers.
To date, over $20,000 USD has been donated to migraine and headache nonprofits, groups, and foundations. The small percentage of individuals who purchase a copy of the Migraine World Summit or its programs like the Migraine Masterclass help sustain the organization. The Migraine World Summit does not solicit donations nor compete with other nonprofits for fundraising.
We believe that by giving unprecedented access to many of the world’s top experts you’ll get high-quality, trustworthy information that you can discuss with your health care professional and use to improve your own situation for the better.
Our mission is to reduce the global burden of migraine through world-class education from leading doctors, specialists, and experts.
The best prescription is knowledge.
