CLUSTERBUSTERS 20th ANNUAL U.S. PATIENT CONFERENCE


September 11-14, 2025

We are very excited to celebrate our 20th Anniversary Conference with you. Join us for this long weekend of support, education, and community in Grapevine, TX near Dallas/Ft. Worth. We are adding several new offerings this year so please read on for full details.

Scroll down for more information including the course overview, registration, hotel details, and the conference agenda.

For 19 years, our conference has offered incredible opportunities to meet other clusterheads and to learn from experts about how to manage this challenging condition. We hope you will join our family.

The conference will begin on Thursday afternoon with small group discussions. Join us in the evening for the Director's Reception, Registration, and more small groups to help you get oriented and meet other attendees.

Friday and Saturday will be full days of educational and support-focused presentations. Many presentations will be eligible for CME credit.

Sunday morning will include social gatherings.

Your hotel stay includes daily breakfast and a happy hour each evening.

Lunch will be provided by Clusterbusters on Friday. 

On Saturday evening, friends old and new are cordially invited to join for dinner and our award ceremony. This event will be Roaring 20s-themed, so be prepared to show up in your spiffiest attire (not required).

We want participants to be fully aware that in the sessions and social settings during this conference, difficult topics such as suicidal ideation, anger, trauma, and self-harm are sometimes discussed by participants and speakers. This conference is intended to be a safe space where such topics can be discussed openly as they are common themes among clusterheads and their caregivers. We believe it is important to maintain this open dialogue as it is part of creating a community where everyone feels understood and nobody has to explain themselves.

 

Note: Agenda coming soon!

Is This Your First Time Attending or Meeting Another Clusterhead?


ClusterBuddies Program

ClusterBuddies is a one-on-one, peer-to-peer support program. Clusterbusters has learned that one of our community's greatest resources is connecting to others who also experience cluster headaches. Since this is your first conference, we invite you to join the free ClusterBuddies program. This will give you a buddy to get to know prior to attending. We will do our best to pair you with someone who is planning to attend as well.

Support Givers are not medical professionals or mental health experts. Support Givers can share their own experiences with cluster headache and lessons that Clusterbusters has figured out over 20+ years of patient support. This program is not a substitute for medical care. We always strongly recommend seeking medical advice before making any changes to your treatment plan.

New Programming for Kids!


Clusterbusters Pediatrics

This year, Clusterbusters is adding special programming for kids ages 7 and up. Whether your children are caregivers or sufferers, this program is for them! Throughout Friday and Saturday, children attending this event will join the main group for presentations and family time, and we will have optional craft supplies in the main ballroom to help them stay occupied as they listen to presentations. There will also be some separate, concurrent sessions for them to learn age-appropriate skills and content in a fun and safe environment. Keep an eye out for the sign-up for this program coming soon!
