Join the 10th International Mental Disorders & Other Non-Motor Features in Parkinson’s disease Congress after several successful years of providing the world’s leading specialists with unparalleled access to the latest discoveries and developments in the study of the etiology and therapy of non-motor features of Parkinson’s disease.

MDPD 2014 is a leading annual educational forum offering a unique opportunity to deliberate on brain diseases and how they contribute to cognitive decline, and to identify the specific psychological markers, biochemical and genetic factors of Parkinson’s dementia and of dementia with Lewy bodies. Join your colleagues and discover the latest developments in our understanding of non motor aspects of the basal ganglia, pathological abnormalities related to PD and the genetic mutations resulting in movement disorders.

MDPD Congresses enable you to network with leading neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists and other multidisciplinary specialists from around the world and exchange information of take-home value. After a highly successful gathering in Asia, MDPD will be returning to its European roots. Join your colleagues in Nice for four days of sun, fun and unexpected treasures in the capital of the French Riviera.

After the success of CtaD 2012 with more than 650 participants from all around the world and exciting presentations we are looking forward to making CtaD 2013 scientifically and clinically challenging!

Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most important health challenges facing aging populations worldwide. The development of the next generation of Alzheimer’s disease drugs is becoming essential to face up to this challenge. We learned in Monte Carlo of new pathways identified with biomarkers, facilitating novel trial designs for studies of tau-based therapies and other disease-modifying drugs including immunotherapy.

World Parkinson Congress 2013

3rd World Parkinson Congress (WPC 2013) Montreal, Canada October 1 to 4, 2013

The World Parkinson Congresses provide an international forum for the latest scientific discoveries, medical practices and care initiatives related to Parkinson disease. By bringing physicians, scientists, nurses, rehab professionals, policy advocates, care partners, family members and people with Parkinson's disease together, we aim to create a worldwide dialogue that will help expedite the discovery of a cure and best treatment practices for this devastating disease.

Plans are underway for the third World Parkinson Congress from October 1 - 4, 2013 to be held at the Palais des congrès in Montreal, Canada. The WPC 2013 is on track to be as successful as the first two Congresses but we can only do it with your involvement. The WPC 2013 is more than just a meeting. We hope to leave a legacy behind. When planning each WPC, we work with the local community to raise awareness about and increase the quality of life of people living with Parkinson disease. Please join us and help make this vision a reality in Montreal in 2013.
