The Parkinson Association of Northern California (PANC) is hosting its annual conference, virtually this year. Anyone in the US may attend. The keynote speaker is Parkinson’s advocate Dr. Soania Mathur. Several movement disorder specialists from Northern California will be speaking. Registration is $10/person. Stanford Parkinson’s Community Outreach will be exhibiting, virtually.
You’ll have the opportunity to view the online conference from the comfort of your home, learn more about PD, explore the virtual exhibit hall (where Stanford will be exhibiting), participate in the movement breaks, and have access to the PANC ParkinsonWISE video.
Anyone affected by PD is invited to attend. And anyone in the US (or around the world) is welcome to attend. Though many (not all) of the speakers are from Northern California, they will be speaking on important topics in PD — symptoms, treatment, and care.
REGISTRATION
Registration is $10 per person, which includes live access to the conference broadcast and exhibit hall. Additionally, the printed conference program, PANC wrist band, and the book “Shaky Hands – A Kids Guide to Parkinson’s Disease” by the keynote speaker will be mailed to all registrants in advance. That is….assuming you register well in advance!
