World Parkinson's Congress
Who We Are
The 7th World Parkinson Congress, also known as the WPC 2026, is returning to North America after ten years and will take place in Phoenix, Arizona. We invite members of the Parkinson’s community to save the date and to plan to join us at one of the most uplifting fully inclusive international Parkinson’s conferences. The WPC 2026 will open its doors to neuroscientists, clinical researchers, clinicians (MD, RN, NP, PA, SW), rehabilitation specialists (PT, OT, SLP, MT), nutritionists, people with Parkinson’s, care partners and others.
If you are touched by Parkinson’s personally, treating people with Parkinson’s, or working to cure it, the WPC is a meeting to add to your calendar.
