People with PD & Caregivers

Why People with Parkinson’s and their Caregivers Should Attend the Congress

The 2nd World Parkinson Congress in 2010 promises to be a turning point for the Parkinson’s community. For the second time, doctors, researchers, allied health professionals, caregivers, and people with Parkinson’s disease will gather in one place to share knowledge, exchange resources, and develop collaborative relationships in order to identify the best treatment practices and to ultimately find a cure for Parkinson’s.

For people with Parkinson’s, the WPC is not only a new source of hope and excitement for the future, but a unique and practical opportunity to participate hands-on in the global fight against Parkinson’s. The Congress will feature an extensive program of plenary sessions, symposia, and workshops with presentations and discussions devoted to established and best treatment options, quality of life and care delivery issues, and the latest scientific research from around the world.

Learn about helpful therapies, clinical trials, and valuable coping strategies. Discuss workplace and insurance issues, advocacy, and the economics of family care. Exchange information with other people with Parkinson’s, physicians, and caregivers who share your interests.

Stand Up and Join in the Fight Against Parkinson’s Disease

You won’t want to miss this opportunity to learn more about Parkinson’s, improve your quality of life, and make a personal contribution in the global effort towards conquering this devastating disease.
