The Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) will join some of the world’s top international sports organizations in Berlin, Germany, October 27-28, for the Fifth International Consensus Conference on Concussion in Sport.

Concussions are in the spotlight more than ever, and have become the predominant safety issue for athletes competing in equestrian and other sports. For this reason, organizations like the International Olympic Committee, FEI, Fédération Internationale de Football Association, and World Rugby have taken a lead role in organizing the conference and developing it into the world’s most influential process for policy makers on concussions in sport.

The purpose of the conference is two-fold. The first objective is to present a summary of new evidence-based research that covers all aspects of concussions including definition, management, investigations, treatment, return-to-play protocol, prevention, and knowledge transfer.

An expert panel group, which includes FEI Medical Committee member Allen Sills, MD, will review the research presented at the conference and develop the consensus from the information presented at the meeting
