HONOLULU, Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The world's leading authorities on Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders — some of the most challenging and fastest-growing neurological conditions — will gather in Honolulu this October to chart a new course for treatment and care.
The International Congress of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders® in Honolulu, Hawaii, from October 5-9, 2025, will convene global leaders in the field to spotlight groundbreaking discoveries and explore innovative pathways toward disease-modifying therapies — a crucial step beyond today's symptom-focused treatments.
"Movement disorders are incredibly complex, but that complexity also opens up many avenues for discovery," said Dr. Victor Fung, President of the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society (MDS), the field's leading global professional organization. "We're seeing accelerating progress in genetics, biomarkers, neuroimaging, and many other promising therapeutic areas. We expect that many of the advancements shared at the International Congress could dramatically reshape how we diagnose and treat these conditions in the near future."
2025 International Congress highlights include:
- A keynote address from Sergiu Pasca, named a "Visionary in Medicine and Science" by The New York Times for his pioneering work in brain organoids.
- More than 60 timely scientific sessions, including timely topics like breaking clinical trial data, neurometabolic disorders, and inflammation in Parkinson's.
- Practical skill application with real-world case studies and live patient interactions, including the highly anticipated video case challenge.
- Presentation of more than 1,800 original research abstracts
More than 100 MDS groups will also meet to advance key society projects and research.
Members of the media can apply for complimentary press registration to the in-person event.
