Welcome to the 2019 IAPRD World Congress in Montreal, Canada

Beyond Symptomatic Therapy: Quest for Disease Modification

On behalf of the Board of the International Association of Parkinsonism and Related Disorders, it is our pleasure to invite you to join us for the XXIV World Congress on Parkinson’s Disease and Related Disorders to be held 16 – 19 June 2019 in Montreal, Canada!

For 3.5 days, our World Congress will highlight new frontiers in clinical management and research, focusing specifically on early diagnosis and disease modification across the spectrum of movement disorders. Every morning the Congress will begin with Plenary Sessions that will provide comprehensive overviews of the latest developments in research, as well as current diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for Parkinson disease and movement disorders. These sessions will be followed by Parallel Tracks that feature more concentrated study in various areas. The Grand Parade of Movement Disorders is an evening video session where faculty and attendees will showcase the most interesting presentations of movement disorders from around the world. Skills Workshops will provide practical information on deep brain stimulation, pump technologies, and botulinum toxin injections—as well as demonstrations on how to examine patients with movement disorders!
