The first Partners Against Mortality in Epilepsy (PAME) conference occurred in Evanston, Illinois, on June 22-24, 2012. The meeting focused on Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) as a major source of mortality resulting from seizures. The ‘partnership’ that organized this conference grew out of the collaboration known as the SUDEP Coalition. The partners that served on the Organizing Committee included the American Epilepsy Society, Centers for Disease Control, Citizens United for Epilepsy Research, Epilepsy Foundation, Epilepsy Therapy Project, National Institutes of Neurological Disorders & Stroke, and SUDEP Aware.
