A live announcement at the World Parkinson Congress tonight has confirmed that the next congress will take place in Québec City in Canada in 2029.
The confirmation came at a special welcome reception on the first day of the current – seventh – World Parkinson Congress in Phoenix, Arizona in the USA.
The announcement followed the Opening Ceremony, during which organisers also shared supportive video messages from Hollywood stars including Dame Julie Andrews (The Sound of Music) and Steve Carrell (The Office).
This will be the second time the World Parkinson Congress is hosted in Canada, after the third congress took place in Montreal back in 2013, and will also mark the eighth iteration of the congress.
Previous World Parkinson Congress events have been held in Barcelona in Spain, Kyoto in Japan, Portland in Oregon, USA, Glasgow in the UK and Washington DC, USA. The first congress took place in 2006.
This article will be updated with further details as we get them.
