Stanford’s Movement Disorders Center and Brain Support Network are co-hosting this Progressive Supranuclear Palsy/Corticobasal Degeneration Symposium. This is a hybrid event — some attending in-person on Stanford’s campus and many attending virtually.
Who should attend? Everyone is welcome — those with PSP/CBD, caregivers, family members, friends, home care aides, healthcare professionals, and anyone in the community interested in learning more about PSP and CBD. (We use the acronym “CBD” to include corticobasal syndrome, or CBS.)
Date/Time:
Saturday, June 29, 2024
10am to 3pm PT
(no speakers during lunch and very short afternoon break)
Space is limited, so please register now!
There are two ways to join — virtually (online) or in-person at Stanford.

Worried about covid-19? The room is fairly spacious, with probably 4-feet between chairs. Some of the organizers will be wearing masks. Masks are not required but recommended. (There are covid outbreaks at many of the local care facilities.) If you are still concerned, register to attend virtually!
Afterwards, visit the historic Stanford Cactus Garden, which is a short walk/wheel from the Center for Academic Medicine. Or, take a short drive to the nearby Cantor Arts Center.
PROGRAM
This symposium will feature a movement disorder specialist, memory disorder specialist, physical therapists, speech therapist, and neuro-palliative care physician from Stanford and other institutions in Northern California. A highlight in the afternoon will be a panel of people coping with PSP or CBD.
OTHER DETAILS
Within a few weeks of the event, we will email everyone who registered a list of relevant resources from Stanford Neurology, Brain Support Network, and CurePSP, the event sponsor.
The symposium will be recorded. We will share a link to the recording with everyone registered.
