This FREE event includes speakers, exhibitors, food, and support in your journey with Parkinson's. See the conference schedule below for details. There's a seat at our table for you and we hope to see you there!

Coming from out of town and same day travel is too much? The Sheraton Hotel, attached to the Convention Center, has graciously given attendees a group discount rate of $117/night. You have the ability to book Friday or Saturday or both nights. Please remember, if you need financial assistance for your room, you can complete our Financial Assistance Grant Application. The last date to book under the discounted rate is March 27th, however, because the hotel is blocking these rooms under what is called a "courtesy guest room block" it is important to book your room as soon as possible to be guaranteed the room and rate. If the hotel has an opportunity to contract with another group, the rooms and rates may no longer be available. Book your hotel stay HERE.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
